custom settings

Extensions like rspec-rails can add their own configuration settings.

Scenarios
  1. simple setting (with defaults)
  2. default to true
  3. overridden in a subsequent RSpec.configure block
simple setting (with defaults)
Given
a file named "additional_setting_spec.rb" with: 
RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.add_setting :custom_setting
end

describe "custom setting" do
  it "is nil by default" do
    RSpec.configuration.custom_setting.should be_nil
  end

  it "acts false by default" do
    RSpec.configuration.custom_setting.should be_false
  end

  it "is exposed as a predicate" do
    RSpec.configuration.custom_setting?.should be_false
  end

  it "can be overridden" do
    RSpec.configuration.custom_setting = true
    RSpec.configuration.custom_setting.should be_true
    RSpec.configuration.custom_setting?.should be_true
  end
end
When
I run "rspec ./additional_setting_spec.rb"
Then
the examples should all pass
