Two messages with well considered content isn't spam - its the right approach.

The proposal to add programmable syntax to the fixtures framework has been made a few times, and our response has been to say 'just put the relevant code in your setup method'. This leaves some users dissatisfied due to the apparently onerous overhead of writing code to create object instances (I don't entirely understand this position, but that's just me). If you've got some magic framework that can help with building 'dynamic fixtures', we'd love to see it.
