somewhere I built a function that would take an array of just about anything 
and generate some asserts (as text) that would check to see if the array 
was it's self. Run the unittests, paste in the output in place of the function 
call and you have a unittest. With a bit of trickery to figure out where 
you are calling from I could envision test system that would let you sketch 
out a unittest and then when run would make a patch file that fills in the 
details with whatever the code actually does.
