I don't think he considered unit testing frameworks either.
And if you really want to do your own unit testing framework, maybe you should
just create your own custom assertion functions which throw something other
than AssertError - though if they don't throw Errors, then any unittest blocks
with a catch(Exception() {} in them may not work properly, so that's not
necessarily all that great a solution either, depending.

Yeah, exactly. And it feels a bit stupid to duplicate the assert
statement just to throw something that isn't an AssertError.
