Not by a mile - but this awaits some measure of how much is "enough". The current version of IoC has too 
many "dark corner" features that could interact in unexpected ways ("mergeAllOptions", "default options", 
"alias", "returnedOptions" etc.) that further inhibit good testing. The version currently under development 
has fewer apparent features (those mentioned previously will be removed) which in theory would make testing 
easier, although it will have a more intricate workflow - which implies that there will need to be a lot 
more of "white-box testing".
