Summary: Helper methods defined in shared specs are not visible when shared spec is used

Initial Comment:
Helper methods that are defined in shared descriptions are not visible to the description's examples when the are instantiated in a non-shared description:

a_spec.rb
---------
describe "shared", :shared => true do
  def foobar
    37
  end

  it "foobar should be 37" do
    foobar.should == 37
  end
end

describe "not shared" do
  it_should_behave_like "shared"
end

---

% spec -v           
RSpec-0.9.3 (r1916) - BDD for Ruby
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/
/tmp % spec a_spec.rb 
F

1)
NameError in 'not shared foobar should be 37'
undefined local variable or method `foobar' for #<#<Class:0x106555c>:0x1065188>
./a_spec.rb:7:

Finished in 0.364168 seconds

1 example, 1 failure


If the definition of foobar is moved into "not shared", it works.
