Yes, me too. However, just like AUnit has only one Assert---suggesting
that we should use Ada operators for different comparisons---I'd make
the specific exception logic part of the operation. Then I have a kind
of symmetry or mapping: I'd use operators with Assert and
procedure'access (or generic actual) with Assert_Exception.
