initialize for have_form:

class HaveForm     def initialize(action, scope, &block)
      @action, @scope, @block = action, scope, block
    end ... end

  def have_form(action, &block)
    HaveForm.new(action, self, &block)
  end


initialize for have_field_set:
   
  class WithFieldSet
    def initialize(scope, legend = nil, &block)
      @scope, @legend, @block = scope, legend, block
    end
  end

  def with_field_set(legend = nil, &block)
    WithFieldSet.new(self, legend, &block)
  end
