How can I use OCMock to verify that a method is never called?

Question

At my day job I've been spoiled with Mockito's never() verification, which can confirm that a mock method is never called.

Is there some way to accomplish the same thing using Objective-C and OCMock? I've been using the code below, which works but it feels like a hack. I'm hoping there's a better way...

- (void)testSomeMethodIsNeverCalled {
    id mock = [OCMockObject mockForClass:[MyObject class]];
    [[[mock stub] andCall:@selector(fail) onObject:self] forbiddenMethod];

    // more test things here, which hopefully
    // never call [mock forbiddenMethod]...
}

- (void)fail {
    STFail(@"This method is forbidden!");
}

As far as I know OCMock will fail automatically when you call verify and methods that have not been recorded were called. A mock that wouldn't complain if unexpected methods were called is called a "nice mock".

- (void)testSomeMethodIsNeverCalled {
    id mock = [OCMockObject mockForClass:[MyObject class]];

    [mock forbiddenMethod];
    [mock verify]; //should fail
}
