In another post Tres' likened doing so to "supererogation"
(http://www.iep.utm.edu/s/superero.htm) which I think means to imply
that doing so will get you points in programmer heaven (well, depending
on your programmer dogma I suppose) but isn't strictly required.

I try to create at least *one* unit test for something that isn't tested
at all if I add a feature to it, testing my feature. ;-)  At least then
it gives people somewhere else to start.
