Summary: alias :running, :lambda

Initial Comment:
For everyday Rspec "reads like english" purposes, aliasing lambda as "running" would make for some fun spec writing:

running { something_risky }.should raise_error 
running { Fancy.operation }.should_not change(@simple, :factor)

or even

running { to_the_bathroom }.should_not change(person, :weight)


describe "A clear spec language" do
	it "should replace generic lowlevel language with intuitive goodies" do
  	running { 5.to_s }.call.should == lambda { 5.to_s }.call		
	end
end
