Comment (by Facundo Batista):
Yes, a string can be fixed so if a substitution fails, that can be
searched in the test.
But that would imply to remember on EVERY test to check if that string
exists (or change your testing infrastructure to assert that on all
tests...).
In the spirit of "Errors should never pass silently" I think it would be
useful to have a parameter like Engine(...,
exception_on_missing_substitution=True) with default to False, so any
missing substitution would explicitly make the test fail, without the
developer needing to remember anything...
