You're referring to this?

If all you want is to bail out if the test fails to complete, that's easy(er).
 I thought it was going to do something specifically when a `use` fails, thus
all the complexity.

A general "bail out if this test file fails" function might be handy.  An even
more general "do X if the test finishes in Y state" would be even more handy.

    # There is no test_passed()
    END { BAIL_OUT() unless test_passed(); }

I don't want to add a huge bunch of functions to Test::More to cover all the
possible test states, in 1.5 you can get them from the TB2::History object.

    # This works in TB 1.5
    END { BAIL_OUT() unless Test::More->builder->history->test_was_successful }

Which is a bit of a mouthful.  Providing a function to get at the history
object would make a bunch of test state introspection easier.

    # That looks pretty good.
    END { BAIL_OUT() unless test_history->test_was_successful }
