I've very occasionally used Test::More::isn't * -- and I would not mind at all to change these uses to Test::More::isn_t or ::isnt. * it isn't (ha!) actually all that useful because normally you want to know what something *is*, and if it *isn't* a value, it isn't necessarily what you want it to be (this is the same as why "I got an exception" is a terrible test -- you really should check that you got the *right* exception, as it could just as easily be "syntax error in your code" which ought to result in a failing test) -- so uses are better off changed to is() or perhaps like().
