MbUnit Re: Mutiple asserts in a single fixture

[Phil Haack]

Ah, good point.  This would not be on by default, but would require the developer to explicitly turn it on.  Whether this is a good or bad practice for a developer to use this is debatable, but not clear cut, thus we give the power to the developer to choose to use this and try not to be too paternalistic since we know many developers *would* have legitimate useful uses of this. I buy that.
