Now I'm confused too. None of the Test::Unit examples I've seen use
"is", they use some form of assert. Is this the Test::More "is", or
something else? Doesn't an xUnit-style test need to throw an exception
to signal failure? Does your "is" do that? If so, no test data after
the first failure will be tried. If not, how does this work?
If this style is described somewhere and I just missed it, point me the
way. My Test::Unit doesn't use the ": Test" attribute, so maybe I have
old or wrong code.
