ExampleGroup.its(:my_method) should create Example in which subject is modified

[gsterndale]

Calling subject inside the example_block should return a modified subject.

The first argument to its() should be a symbol representing a method name to be called on subject.

For example, the following should pass:

class Foo
  def bar; 'fizz'; end
end
describe Foo do
  its(:bar) { should == 'fizz' }
end

Accessing the subject in a before or after block should be on the implicit or explicit subject, NOT the modified subject. See https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/975-update-to-subject-not-available-to-its
