Nice idea!

It's also wrong; == is numeric equality, you need ~~ or eq. Also, note
that 'use Test' means Test is loaded even when you aren't testing. We
don't currently have a way of calling import in pugs though. Then again
the cost of loading Test isn't too bad because it's precompiled.

I like the approach.
