Hmm.. a social consequence. Good!

Yes, I'm familiar with the confidence you have in a project - proportional
to the percentage of coverage. I promise I'll keep my eye on it. But by now
the fortress2 package consists of one interface, the interface
implementation and a few test cases. There isn't even a single exception
class to test yet :-)

But I got your point.
