  I remember this. I remember scratching my head and asking why, 
but then realizing that likely 99% of the time it's never called, 
so I started using it to build and do unittests (without Junit).

  Curiously. I'm suddenly reminded of a test suite I made for a 
company for Visual Basic. It was years ago and a nice little test 
suite; I really wish I had a copy.
