Yes. Here's the current code, in toplevel:

  def testcase(name=nil, &block)
    tc = Class.new(Test::Unit::TestCase)
    #self.class.const_set("TC_#{(name||$TCGEN.succ!)}", tc)
    $TC << tc
    tc.class_eval &block
  end

A testcase needs to keep it's contents separate from other testcases,
just as it would if I were explicitly suclassing Test::Unit::TestCase.

(Note too the remark, how do I set the constant name at the toplevel?)

Thanks,
T.
