line number appended to file path

To run one or more examples or groups, you can append the line number to the
path, e.g.

$ rspec path/to/example_spec.rb:37
Background
Given
a file named "example_spec.rb" with: 
RSpec.describe "outer group" do

  it "first example in outer group" do

  end

  it "second example in outer group" do

  end

  describe "nested group" do

    it "example in nested group" do

    end

  end

end
And
a file named "example2_spec.rb" with: 
RSpec.describe "yet another group" do
  it "first example in second file" do
  end
  it "second example in second file" do
  end
end
And
a file named "one_liner_spec.rb" with: 
RSpec.describe 9 do

  it { is_expected.to be > 8 }

  it { is_expected.to be < 10 }

end
Scenarios
  1. Nested groups - outer group on declaration line
  2. Nested groups - outer group inside block before example
  3. Nested groups - inner group on declaration line
  4. Nested groups - inner group inside block before example
  5. Two examples - first example on declaration line
  6. Two examples - first example inside block
  7. Two examples - first example on end
  8. Two examples - first example after end but before next example
  9. Two examples - second example on declaration line
  10. Two examples - second example inside block
  11. Two examples - second example on end
  12. Specified multiple times for different files
  13. Specified multiple times for the same file with multiple arguments
  14. Specified multiple times for the same file with a single argument
  15. Matching one-liners
