Sure, it's trivial, and that's really at the core of the matter: where do you introduce the overhead? Do you introduce it for those who want a failure whenever they have an empty TestCase? Or, do you introduce it for those who want to keep empty TestCases around? I think it has to be one or the other - one set of users will have a bit of extra work, and the other group of users will be able to start working out of the box. To be honest, I still lean towards making the default to fail on an empty TestCase. What's a failure? It's an invitation to implement. What's an empty TestCase? It's an invitation to implement (as Dave pointed out in ruby-talk:60964). If you want to silence the invitation, you just add an empty test to match your empty test case.
