ANN: pry unit testing framework

Well, in a way, perhaps. But not in the sense that Pry is. In Pry you
can nest test fixtures (setUp/tearDown pairs) within test fixtures,
allowing arbitrarily deep fixture hierarchies. You can then address any
sub-tree in this hierarchy from the command-line. This structure turns
out to be terribly useful in practice, when, for example, developing
database applications.

I'll take your word for it. ;) Unfortunately, the more bang per line of
code argument won't do, since the number of lines of code in your nose
example and the Pry example matches almost exactly. Unless, of course,
you were joking and that was precisely the point you were trying to
make... in which case I apologise and you can ignore this... ;)
