I'd rather print less if I don't really care what the name is, though I
don't feel exceedingly strongly that way.  It just seems that a default

any
useful information.

People should use test names if they make the tests easier to 
understand
and to maintain, not because people should use test names.

Oh I agree :-) I just want to define my test name elsewhere so rather 
than having duplication:

	define correct_answer : Test { is $answer, 42, 'correct_answer' };

or meaningless method names:

	define test123 : Test { is $answer, 42, 'correct_answer' };

I can have the (in my eyes) neater:

	define correct_answer : Test { is $answer, 42 };

I like meaningful method names in Test::Class test suites, since I can 
use them to make quick-n-dirty documentation an AgileDox style 
<http://joe.truemesh.com/blog/archives/agile/000047.html>.

I was just wondering if there were any other use cases out there that 
would justify adding something more generic.
