Rspec example failure without expectation

Occasionally, an example will have an omitted expectation. This could happen from a hairy git merge, or just plain distraction. Is there anyway to configure Rspec to fail the example if there is no expectation?

If something like this doesn’t exist, it might be an awesome PR candidate for RSpec.

Related note:
I really like the skip/pending functionality in RSpec now, where pending specs that don’t fail within it blocks produce test failures.

Looks like it’s been talked about long ago here: Feature Idea: Fail examples when no expectation was set · Issue #404 · rspec/rspec-core · GitHub

The consensus seemed to be that it would cause too much coupling between the rspec-core and rspec-expectations libraries. myronmarston put together an example of how something like this could work, but it’s pretty old and doesn’t seem to anymore.
