That's a clever way to follow.
Eventually, if the Simulator doesn't raise an Exception we can still
assert the result of execution.
But my joke was about the dogma "provide a failure test before your
change is accepted in Squeak".
Correcting such bug is ten times easier than writing a TestCase, and is
an emergency. So in some exceptional cases like this the dogma should be
"Correct immediately then provide a non regression test case".
