Heh. :)

Which case is more common (I know that may be a hard question to answer!):

 Assert.That( data, Is.EqualTo(expected).Using(myComparer);

.. or

 Assert.That( data, Is.EqualTo(expected).Using(delegate(MyClass a,
MyClass b) { return a.Name.CompareTo(b.Name); });

?

The latter may well become (if not already!) the more common with the
shorter syntax of .NET3.5: (or is it 3.0..? Don't you just hate it
when big versions come so close they are hard to distinguish..?):

Assert.That( data, Is.EqualTo(expected).Using( (a,b) =>
a.Name.CompareTo(b.Name) );

What I mean is that choosing the short name "Using" might be a little
too brief without the added readability of the variable name
"myComparer", given the most ubiqous use case (?) of an anonymous
IComparer ...
