I'm starting to get the feeling that every time I mention this: http://perl-qa.yi.org/index.php/TAP_diagnostic_syntax everyone sort of stares off into space for a few seconds with their mouths gaping open and then blinks twice and continues on with whatever they were doing without ever having seen the URL. It never gets any comment. Why is that? Is it the fnords? Are there fnords in that URL? Its ok, they won't eat you. I'll protect you. Everyone keeps reinventing the same wheel and coming around to the same conclusion. We have a wiki to avoid exactly this sort of thing. Either comment on what's wrong with it or code that proposal! If I see another "let's hack up the Test::More diagnostics" thread I'm going to puke.
