When I've used the autogenerated names, I've used specify:

specify { @user.should have_many(:contest_public_votes) }
specify { @user.should have_many(:design_industry_user_interests) }
specify { @user.should have_one(:user_extension) }

That reads better than 'it' in my view, but I'm not happy w/ 'specify'
either. What other words would make sense in this situation? One thing
that occurs to me in this particular example is 'the':

describe User do
the { @user.should have_many(:contest_public_votes) }
the { @user.should have_many(:design_industry_user_interests) }
the { @user.should have_one(:user_extension) }

But I don't know if that would work that often.

Other ideas?
