I disagree it's a bad api. It's part of why mock was so easy to use and
part of why it was so successful. With the new check for non-existent
assert methods it's no longer dangerous and so doesn't need fixing.

So -1 from me.

May you do good and not evil
May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
