I actually very rarely use actions in my test code.  The biggest purpose
of my class was for the common actions of firing an event and setting
parameters, which are pretty straightforward and will benefit from the
readability I think.

What about error messages?  It looks convenient to write, but does it
generate useful diagnostics when tests fail?  What is the name of an
anonymous delegate?

JMock and NMock2 were designed favour ease of maintenance over ease of
writing.  E.g. when writing a test  it's worth spending a couple of
minutes writing a new action class that can generate good error
messages to save a couple of hours debugging time later in the project
when that test fails unexpectedly.
