Yeah, I was hoping you'd miss that :-)

It just seems to me, as you point out, that it should check when run by
anything, user or spec, so adding it only to the spec seems wrong. I'm
not a huge fan of option bloat but that would be one way around this,
--graceful-exit or something. Could make it a hidden option if you wanted.
