This is unnecessary in a well-designed project. Rather than directly instantiating, encapsulate the object creation in a method, then override the method that does the creation in a mock object. No code mods and certainly no engine mods are needed to test properly. The feature is neat, but not a good candidate for core as proposed imo. Greg
