Continuing the brainstorm (I used "assuming" before "given", but that
reads better):

given { @items = [:item1, :item2, :item3] }.expect {
  add_item_should_increase_size {
    given {
      @previous_size = size
    }
    doing { add_item :item4 }
    results_in { size > @previous_size }
  }

  add_item_should_increase_size_by_one {
    doing { add_item :item4 }
    results_in { size == 4 }
  }
}

I'm still not sure whether instance_eval'ing tests is a good idea.
