In RSpec, is there a method equivalent to "unstub" but for "should_receive"?

Question

Is there any method to remove any stubbing and mocking while using RSpec?

Example:

RestClient.should_receive(:delete).with("http://www.example.com") ... ...   # this will remove the mocking of "should_receive" and  # restore the proper "delete" method on "RestClient". RestClient.mocking_reset 

(mocking_reset is my ficticious name for the required functionality).

I know that there is the method "unstub" which resets "stubs" but not "should_receive"s.

So, is there any method equivalent to "unstub" but for "should_receive"?

You can overwrite some previous mocking by:

expect(RestClient).to receive(:delete).and_call_original 

Or if it is wasn't any kind of expectation, just a simple stub:

allow(RestClient).to receive(:delete).and_call_original 

Remember there exists also expect_any_instance_of and allow_any_instance_of.
