Agreed.  The unit test only specifies that the method name should be 
mentioned.  I'm not sure how to test for a "helpful" error message 
without specifying the exact text to be shown ... and I didn't want to 
overconstrain the solution.

Perhaps Nathaniel will include an assert_helpful_error_message method in 
the next release of Test::Unit.

What?  Me flippant?  Never!
