I have developed a system in which I require model_helper.rb in model 
specs, controller_helper.rb in controllers, and (you guessed it!) 
view_helper.rb in view specs. Each of those then require spec_helper.rb. 
I did this because I wanted fine-grained control over what gets loaded 
when, which started when I decided I wanted to use Remarkable for model 
specs only and didn't want it available during other specs. Plus, I keep 
customizations out of spec_helper.rb, which is a very good thing.

This is probably like trying to swat a fly with Mack truck, but what if 
all files under spec/ were considered RSpec files? Or possibly some 
variation of that?
