[TxMt] Using „First Line Match” in grammars

When and how is the “First Line Match” setting of language grammars 
considered?

In my experiments it doesn't seem to have any effect at all: For 
example, I'd like TextMate to use the RSpec grammar for all *.rb having 
a first line matching '.*spec_helper.*', but it seems to always use the 
Rails grammar instead (even for newly created files). I suspect TextMate 
remembers some kind of manual override – if so, how can I reset this 
override? Is there any way to see (debug) how TextMate choses the grammar?
