The vast majority of my tests look like: do some setup, do some action,
make a half-dozen assertions. Almost always in that order.

The only reason I can think of that I would need to have assertions in the
middle is if I plan to do more setup and action and assertions afterwards.

And in that case, I'm really just writing a second test that should
probably be its own test-fn. And if it relies on the setup from the first
test, I should probably just extract it out into a function with common
setup.

I think I'm almost sold on this idea now.
