We don't absolutely have to do this, agreed. But I think the
current behavior fails to satisfy the POLA. As I remarked in
the other thread, I'm worried about somebody wasting time trying
to identify why their TAP test isn't behaving the way it does
when they invoke the code under the perl they think they're using.
