The main thing I care about is the distinction between a stub and a
mock. Stubs just return stuff; mocks return stuff and demand specific
calling patterns. It's an important distinction because mocks cause
tighter constraints and lead to more fragility, although they're also
necessary.

The distinction between spies (like Dingus and Mock) and true mocks
(like Fudge) doesn't much concern me. :) And I refuse to acknowledge
fakes because they're evil. ;)
