If I have an example such as the following:

describe "A flux capacitor" do
  it "should flux a lot" do
  # how can I access the string object "A flux capacitor" in here???
  ...
  end
end

How can I access the described string object "A flux capacitor"? I've tried a few permutations of 'described_type' and 'described_class' Such as:

self.described_type.to_s

But these always return nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, -Bill
