Just to explain: I think it was me who asked for this, though the  
change wasn't in generated code, it was in a file in rspec-rails that  
gets run when you require 'spec/rails'. We use a 'features'  
environment for running our features (so we can run them in parallel  
with specs) and it was causing some weird behaviour as the constant  
was changing under our feet as the features (which use some rspec- 
rails matchers) were run.
