Alrighty - I see the list of mixins. 

For me, in this case, the obvious way would be to list each mixin method
along with the Class and Instance methods, perhaps with a one-line
description saying "see FileTest" or somesuch.

Of course, now that I've been through this instance, I'll probably always
remember to check the Mixes In section when looking for a method. The way
you have it now is fine ... guess it depends on how idiot proof you want it
(I'm certainly a good tester in that regard <g>).
