I'm just saying that we shouldn't expect to find a magic bullet test
framework that solves all these problems. Without restructuring code,
which I don't think is really feasible, we won't be able to have good
unit test coverage for most existing code.

It might be more practical to start using such a new tool for new code
only. Then the new code could be structured in ways that allow the
environment to be mocked more easily and the results observed more
easily.
