The manual ought to more strongly recommend using ERROR for raising the condition. That's the one and only interface to warn casual users that tests failed. Failing tests that fail to throw ERROR fail the user in an even worse way. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Schemer: "Buddha is small, clean, and serious."
