I only suggested that the author of a class not also author the unit
test for three reasons: A) Lack of time; B) Conflict of interest; and
C) Lack of time.
In any case, unit tests aren't about making anybody's life
impossible. They're about putting each function through its paces,
making sure it does what the author intended, and also making sure it
handles bad input gracefully. (Many a coredump was born when a
function met input it didn't expect...)
