* Useful shorthands for common asserts (testing that two sequences are the 
  same ignoring order, for example)

* A way to write test cases that doesn't bring the test method to a halt if 
  something raises an unexpected exception

* Coverage support (though that would also entail Skip's coverage code
  getting into 2.1)
