You have the basic idea.  You can also look at 
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-AtRuntime/ for another example of an infinite 
stream.

It's important to distinguish an infinite stream because as more people start 
writing harnesses to deal with TAP output, they need to know immediately that a 
stream is infinite so they don't do something bad like try to cache all TAP 
output.

Hey, I didn't know you had anything to do with Croquet.  That's an awesome 
project!
