Summary: Mocks should respond to :kind_of? in the same way they respond to :is_a?

Initial Comment:
Mocks currently respond to :is_a? by matching the class the mock object is mocking. :kind_of? should behave the same.

Message:
r2105 brings up a somewhat related other issue

>From the ruby docs:
> obj.is_a?(class) => true or false
> obj.kind_of?(class) => true or false
> Returns true if class is the class of obj, or if class is 
> one of the superclasses of obj or modules included in obj.

So the #kind_of? implementation is now correct, but #is_a?
should work like it, not instance_of?

Added support for instance_of? too.

Yes, sorry, I miscategorized this.  I am referring to
mock_model in Spec::Rails.

Message:
Core mocks don't do this at all. Are you referring to mock_model in Spec::Rails?
