My specs have an anonymous class that I create in the #before block.

e.g.

before(:each) do
   @base = Class.new do
      # set instance variables, etc.
     end.new
   @base.extend MyModule
end

it "should call #foo" do
   ...
end

Looks like #defined?(super) was what I needed.

Thanks for the help.
