quicktest seem to be a common name[1] :)
IIRC something like this was already planned from Nathaniel Talbott, but 
I think that if you're writing a single test class per file even the 
test{} could be avoided.




[1] I wrote a "quicktest" thing too, but it was different, wrapping 
sparse assertions in a test case to allow testing quick scripts like this:

  def foo(x,y)
   ..
  end
  assert_equal something, foo(2,3)
