True!  But I've had a lot of loading issues lately, when autotest runs  
a single file and everything breaks.

Ah, I was referring no the class, not the method.   I like being told  
My::Class doesn't exist, it's a motivation to create the files and write

   it "should do something" do
     violated
   end

I find that helps drive development down the app's layers.
