We have used it in Croquet to point out known differences between platforms.

As a user (and not an implementor) the complexity doesn't disturb me one
bit. If it can be tidied up it's certainly great but if that means
breaking the test framework I'm not to fond of the idea.

If the only benefit is a simpler implementation I fail to see the value
of the change for the people whose code this breaks. How about making it
simpler and keeping it compatible instead?
