I'm writing a method that involves deciding if an object is a class or an 
instance of a class. Right now I'm creating a mock_model and setting up an 
expectation on respond_to? :new but I've got a feeling that this isn't the way 
to go.

The current mock_model returns an object that looks more like a class based on 
the methods it has (I should actually go look now and check if it's got the 
typical instantiated Object methods too...), and I'm wondering if there's a 
clean way of creating a mock_model instance that has typical instantiated Object 
methods and no Object class methods.
