> I have never encountered that convention — where have you seen it? I certainly wouldn't expect it; I've mostly seen test files starting with numbers and are all lowercase (e.g. nn-name.t).

Yes. Strongly agree.

Here's another convention I'm sure you'd expect and approve of: convert a haiku (three lines of 5-7-5 syllables) into the test names, so as to entertain the bored tester (or AI robot) by gradually revealing an inspiring haiku as the test suite runs. For example, this haiku:

Coffee mug shatters
Larry Apocalyptic
Parrot not a hoax

Gallop Ponie bold!
Beer to gulp, Buffy astride
Orange sky surrounds

can be easily converted into a CPAN test suite to display: 

t/00_Coffee.t ....... ok
t/01_mug.t .......... ok
t/02_shatters.t ..... ok
t/03_Larry.t ........ ok
t/04_Apocalyptic.t .. ok
t/05_Parrot.t ....... ok
t/06_not.t .......... ok
t/07_a.t ............ ok
t/08_hoax.t ......... ok
t/09_Gallop.t ....... ok
t/10_Ponie.t ........ ok
t/11_bold.t ......... ok
t/12_Beer.t ......... ok
t/13_to.t ........... ok
t/14_gulp.t ......... ok
t/15_Buffy.t ........ ok
t/16_astride.t ...... ok
t/17_Orange.t ....... ok
t/18_sky.t .......... ok
t/19_surrounds.t .... ok

What? I'm the only one using that convention? Really?

Seeing it again after so many years, it's looking a bit dated, composed during the early Perl 6 era, and heavily influenced by London.pm culture I see. Probably should compose a new one.
