Hmm, interesting. I suppose you might want to write helper functions  
with the controller that you might want to test independently of a  
request. Thinking out loud, I guess if I was writing a controller  
before_filter, say for a cross-concern, I might want to test that in  
isolation without using a request. Although I'm likely to have any  
cross-concerns in a module though, which would be tested seperately.

Perhaps an orange 'warning' state for a spec would be good, that  
perhaps you could disable?
