Uh, in my book, it just looks stupid. Thank you for fixing it, anyway
- But «use ok Some::Thing» looks stupid to me. I think it's way
clearer to use Test::More's typical «BEGIN { use_ok('Some::Thing' );}»
'use ok' just seems to be there to confuse

Oh, and... Well, I took a bit to understand it - ok.pm is documented
as Test::use::ok - I agree, that's the complete namespace, and the
Perl community is not as anal-retentive as the Debian community
towards cleanness and policy-compliance... But I just find the module
a disservice to mankind! 

Anyway... TIMTOWTDI. But some ways are dumber than others. ;-)
