Folks,
	Yes, I do agree with this:

	Scott Wallace has suggested a similar table driven way of 
generating the examples.  I think #exampleFor: is tolerable, and 
anyone could implement it to read a table.

	Perhaps the match-up of test cases and examples of methods
is not perfect.  TestCases tend to be testing large subsystems, and 
examples for users will start out with the simple 'beginner' methods. 
But some methods will be both need legitimate testing and be good for 
users to look at, such as String>>asNumber and 
Base64MimeConverter>>mimeEncode:.

4580ViaSUnit-2-tk.cs

I have added a second update that makes TestRunner show one entry per
class that has the MethodCall type of test.  Any class-object that responds to
#exampleFor: will be listed here.  The intention is to keep traditional
TestCases, and also the newer TestViaMethodCalls.  With this 
modification, the two ways of specifying test cases can live side by 
side.

I really appreciate everyone who wrote to me to educate me about SUnits.
