One day (maybe not this rewrite, maybe not the next) I'd like to see you
be able to write layers of tests.  That is to say that you have some kind
of Test::Harness like system running actually inside a Test::Builder test
that runs another set of tests and returns "ok" or "not ok" if all *its*
tests returned "ok" or not.  And then you could have subtests within that,
down to an arbitary level of abstraction.  Does this make sense?

You might want to check out what Mark Overmeer has done with the test-suite for Mail::Box. It does sub-tests at least one level deep, with the possibility to run a set of tests using a regular expression. Which can be very handy during development.
