If they are to be documented anywhere it is in rt.cpan.org.  The Test::More
documentation is not a bug tracking system.

I also don't like to fix a bug and introduce a new one.  I consider the
overload bug to be about on the same severity level as the ones you fixed.
Either I need to receive a complete, working patch or you'll have to wait 
until I repair yours.

It also makes me nervous that the core 5.8.1 version of Test::More is drifing 
away from the CPAN version and that I haven't had the time to evaluate that
difference and its consequences leading to problems like this one.  So I'm
tending towards leaving it as it is for now.  I'd rather leave the old bugs
in than fix them while introducing new ones on the assumption that folks 
have worked around them and/or aren't bothered by them.  I know folks are 
bothered by the overload bug.

Sorry to be so troublesome about this, but as RFC 1925's Rule #1 states 
"It Has To Work".
