I'm not wringing my hands, I just don't like step 3 of what could
otherwise be a 2 step process. Further, it equates to steps 1 and 4
when adding more tests! Is it bad that I want it to work in a way that
encourages me to add tests rather than punishing me for it?
Do you comment out the tests => foo and uncomment the no_plan line
whenever you edit tests, or do you use a ternary and the r0/r1 vim
idiom? Or do you just delete the 'tests' option and type no_plan
longhand? Seems like that would lead to at least some wristwringing.
The ternary also leads to eyewringing in my case.
In fact, so much eyewringing that I've taken to this lately:
use inc::testplan(0,
+ 3 # use
+ 199 # those others
);
...
done;
