How would the new class hierarchy look like?
  Test <-- TestMethod <-- NUnitTestMethod
                      <-- New TestCase (with arguments)
       <-- TestSuite  <-- TestFixture <-- NUnitTestFixture

The summary comment at the TestCase class says: "In the present 
implementation, the only derived class is TestMethod, but we allow for 
future test cases which are implemented in other ways."

What could be other ways to implement a test case? Wouldn't dropping the 
TestCase class from the hierarchy make it harder to implement those 
other ways?

I agree with you about the new TestCase class. But I think it should be 
derived from NUnitTestMethod.
