Agree totally. I have the doc sort out gradually working it's way
through my queue (currently pegged for the Xmas holiday). It's really
the docs that would cause all the problems.

We should also issue a 1.0.2 release as well. I had to introduce a
couple of extra methods, assertSame() and assertCopy(), due to problems
with the ampersands in assertReference() when porting test suites
(especially PHP4) from 1.0.1 to 1.1 versions. Ideally the 1.1 is a drop
in replacement for 1.0.x so that they can immediately turn on E_STRICT
straight afterwoods. Otherwise they are rewriting tests while trying to
convert their own code to E_STRICT. Not an ideal situation.

The 1.0.2 release is trivial (uses the same docs) and just means adding
the new methods. That way they can go back to 1.0.2, rewrite the tests
without assertReference(), then go forward to 1.1 again. Then, any
E_STRICT errors are theirs alone.
