I disagree.  I considered Test::Harness deprecated and TAP::Harness to 
be the new entry-point for adding features.  Test::Harness is stuck 
with back-compat, which means some behavior doesn't flex very well 
because of age-old failed assumptions.  For example, try running tests 
against a different perl binary than the one driving the harness.
