 > The issue here is that, if it calls die, it's not really meant to
 continue running the actual code. Wouldn't this make the test suit break?
 Yes, that's the problem, the command to die() exits the testsuite and
 breaks it.

 > You could throw an exception from a hook to abort the function without
 terminating execution (assuming you write your tests in PHP5).

 Yes that's what I wanted to do in the plugable / hooked function
 wp_exit(); in testing then. So we can even write tests that test for dying
 by testing for such a special exception. And afaik PHPUnit can deal with
 exceptions pretty well.

 {{{php wp-test.php -t WPTestUserCapabilities}}}

 One of the tests results in the call of wp_die() which outputs a message
 and dies then (You can't give users that role.).
