Mock a %x call

Hi,

Is it possible to mock such method call?

I tried: Kernel.expects(:’%x’).returns(‘whatever’).

But I get the following error:
SyntaxError: compile error
/usr/local/ruby1.8.7/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mocha-0.9.5/lib/mocha/class_method.rb:40:
syntax error, unexpected ‘(’, expecting ‘\n’ or ‘;’
def %x(*args, &block); mocha.method_missing(:%x, *args, &block); end

The various % constructs in ruby are handled by the parser and,
therefore, cannot be mocked using method stubbing employed by mocha,
rspec mocks, et al.

Maybe, expects(:`)?
