irb: warn: can't alias context from irb_context.

I get this whenever I load a console with rspec 3.5.0 for some reason. Not sure if there is some configuration change possible, but it doesn't happen in 3.4.0, so we rolled back.
Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.7.1)

See this issue: #1645 -- Seems to be fixed in the 3-5-maintenance branch and the fix has not been released yet. See commits here: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/commits/3-5-maintenance
@joelmichael as pointed out by @mrnugget a fix for this is merged, but has not yet been released.
@samphippen -- thoughts on cutting an rspec-rails 3.5.2 release in the next week?
@myronmarston I can probably commit to doing it over the coming weekend. If you or @JonRowe can do it sooner that'd be shiny.
I've just released 3.5.2
the problem still persists for me:
rails 4.2.7.1
rspec-rails 3.5.2
Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.7.1)
irb: warn: can't alias context from irb_context.
It's possible another gem is causing this issue for you, a vanilla rails install at 4.2.7.1 with the latest RSpec gems doesn't cause this issue.
For now I suggest making sure all of your rspec gems are update to date with:
bundle update rspec rspec-rails rspec-core rspec-mocks rspec-expectations rspec-support
If you can provide a cloneable minimal reproduction repo we'll happily reopen and have a look but for now I'd suggest remove gems one at a time until the console command runs without that warning.
