+NAME
+ Test::Leaner - A slimmer Test::More for when you favor performance over
+ completeness.
+
+VERSION
+ Version 0.01
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ use Test::Leaner tests => 10_000;
+ for (1 .. 10_000) {
+ ...
+ is $one, 1, "checking situation $_";
+ }
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ When profiling some Test::More-based test script that contained about 10
+ 000 unit tests, I realized that 60% of the time was spent in
+ Test::Builder itself, even though every single test actually involved a
+ costly "eval STRING".
+
+ This module aims to be a partial replacement to Test::More in those
+ situations where you want to run a large number of simple tests. Its
+ functions behave the same as their Test::More counterparts, except for
+ the following differences :
+
+ * Stringification isn't forced on the test operands. However, "ok"
+ honors 'bool' overloading, "is" and "is_deeply" honor 'eq'
+ overloading (and just that one) and "cmp_ok" honors whichever
+ overloading category corresponds to the specified operator.
+
+ * "pass", "fail", "ok", "is", "isnt", "like", "unlike" and "cmp_ok"
+ are all guaranteed to return the truth value of the test.
+
+ * "cmp_ok" throws an exception if the given operator isn't a valid
+ Perl binary operator (except '=' and variants). It also tests in
+ scalar context, so '..' will be treated as the flip-flop operator
+ and not the range operator.
+
+ * The tests don't output any kind of default diagnostic in case of
+ failure ; the rationale being that if you have a large number of
+ tests and a lot of them are failing, then you don't want to be
+ flooded by diagnostics.
+
+ * "use_ok", "require_ok", "can_ok", "isa_ok", "new_ok", "subtest",
+ "explain", "TODO" blocks and "todo_skip" are not implemented.
+
+ * Test::Leaner depends on Scalar::Util, while Test::More does not.
+
+FUNCTIONS
+ The following functions from Test::More are implemented and exported by
+ default.
+
+ "plan [ tests => $count | 'no_plan' | skip_all => $reason ]"
+ "skip $reason => $count"
+ "done_testing [ $count ]"
+ "ok $ok [, $desc ]"
+ "pass [ $desc ]"
+ "fail [ $desc ]"
+ "is $got, $expected [, $desc ]"
+ "isnt $got, $expected [, $desc ]"
+ "like $got, $regexp_expected [, $desc ]"
+ "unlike $got, $regexp_expected, [, $desc ]"
+ "cmp_ok $got, $op, $expected [, $desc ]"
+ "is_deeply $got, $expected [, $desc ]"
+ "diag @text"
+ "note @text"
+ "BAIL_OUT [ $desc ]"
+ Test::Leaner also provides some functions of its own, which are never
+ exported.
+
+ "tap_stream [ $fh ]"
+ Read/write accessor for the filehandle to which the tests are outputted.
+ On write, it also turns autoflush on onto $fh.
+
+ Note that it can only be used as a write accessor before you start any
+ thread, as threads::shared cannot reliably share filehandles.
+
+ Defaults to "STDOUT".
+
+ "diag_stream [ $fh ]"
+ Read/write accessor for the filehandle to which the diagnostics are
+ printed. On write, it also turns autoflush on onto $fh.
+
+ Just like "tap_stream", it can only be used as a write accessor before
+ you start any thread, as threads::shared cannot reliably share
+ filehandles.
+
+ Defaults to "STDERR".
+
+ "THREADSAFE"
+ This constant evaluates to true if and only if Test::Leaner is
+ thread-safe, i.e. when this version of "perl" is at least 5.8, has been
+ compiled with "useithreads" defined, and threads has been loaded before
+ Test::Leaner. In that case, it also needs a working threads::shared.
