New issue 39 by schwern: Make a version of $self->expected_tests() that
doesn't output a plan
http://code.google.com/p/test-more/issues/detail?id=39

Right now you can't set the expected number of tests via the public
interface without also outputting a plan. This is because the two were
previously tied together.

Either rework expected_tests() so this is possible, or write a new function
just to set the expected number of tests.

Find points in the code which are accessing $self->{Expected_Tests}
directly and make them use the new method

_plan_tests() is the only internal method which calls expected_tests()
expecting it
to print the plan out. I've changed that so _plan_tests() calls
_output_plan()
itself (after calling expected_tests()). I then replaced read/writes of
$self->
{Expected_Tests} with calls to expected_plan().

All tests pass, but would code from other modules be calling
expected_tests()
directly? It mightn't be safe to change its behavior if that's happening.

Changes are in http://github.com/gaurav/test-more/tree/issue39.

Thanks for the work, but your suspicion is correct. expected_tests() is a
public
method and documented to print the headers. That behavior can't be changed.
