I suspect that some of the stuff in Test::Harness, such as Straps.pm
and Point.pm, would go away.  That's a bit of concern for me as I've no
way of knowing how ubiquitous their use is.  I do know that a few
people are overriding straps -- 'prove' even has a switch to let you
override it directly -- and that might be an issue.
