Keeping with my general philosophy that I'd like to keep
the requirements needed to run Test.pm (and the test suite)
as simple as possible, I'd prefer to not require type checking
within Test.pm in order for it to work right.
Beyond that, if we're testing a Junction in boolean
context, I think I would prefer to make that an explicit
part of the test itself:
ok ?(1|2), 'Junction 1|2 is true in boolean context';
