I find these things useful. If you are interested in enhancing gb.test
then it should be done like this:

To ensure it's stability gb.test tests itself so at first you should
write tests for gb.test that require the new methods:

Assert.Interface("ExistingClass", "ExistingSymbol")

There should also be tests that test the right behavior on failure, like
this:

Test.IntendedFailure
Assert.Interface("NotExistingClass", "AnySymbol")

Test.IntendedFailure
Assert.Interface("ExistingClass", "NotExportedSymbol")

These tests must be part of the testsuite "All good" in gb.test.

After that write the methods in 'Assert' that meet the requirements,
they should be well documented.
