When you call a matcher in an example without a String, like this:

specify { expect(object).to matcher }

or this:

it { is_expected.to matcher }

RSpec expects the matcher to have a #description method. You should either
add a String to the example this matcher is being used in, or give it a
description method. Then you won't have to suffer this lengthy warning again.
