I think the underlying idea is excellent and deserves to be standardized in one
form or another. I also like the way the optional parameters make the test easy
to use in the default way, but provide the flexibility to test arbitrary string
parameters.
About the only thing that's missing is the ability to do things like count
occurances, and I'm pretty strongly inclined not to add that.
So yes, please submit this and let's work on getting it standardized.
