The app (www.redcaride.com) has a plugin system with reloading, which lets you work on your plugin
without restarting the application. Now I can reload and rerun the specs too, so you really do
never have to leave the app.

I know that this is a slightly dangerous way of running specs - but it is convenient. And I plan
to make it almost as quick to load another app instance and run your specs in a clean fashion as
well.
