[mocha-developer] Expect with "real world" returns?

[Carl Mercier]

I think you missed my point.  I -do- want the real database row, but I  
also want to make sure that the "find" method is called with the right  
parameters and x number of times.

So this is not really mocking, just setting expectations about what  
will be called and with what arguments.
