No, that was a much more involved thing which involves nested plans and
multiple plans and such. This simply takes advantage of the existing ability
to put the plan at the end instead of at the front.
1..2
ok 1
ok 2
and
ok 1
ok 2
1..2
are equivalent test output. This is how no_plan works and it's been around
since 2001.
Nothing new happened to allow this change, I just never really gave it thought
before.
