The back and forth was the easiest way I could find to get the  
correct class for the Page without writing new fixtures myself.  And  
it was the closest analogue to the way the original set the behavior  
before beginning the tests.

I tried playing around with that @page.children.create, which didn't  
change anything (much to my surprise).  It was only when I tried to  
access @page.children.* in the tests that it bombed.

I might just try to re-write the tests completely.  Currently I'm  
just trying to make the smallest changes needed to get the 0.5  
behavior to work properly as a mental page type.  I don't want to  
make any large changes as it's not originally mine...  And now that I  
look at it, there's no licensing information in the original code.   
Hmmm...

[cut debug output]

Ah!  A ruby debugger!  How the heck could I have forgotten it  
existed!  Bad me!  Especially after the hours I've spent with gdb...

The PageTestHelper must be mucking with something before the tests to  
add the NoCachePage.  I'll have to see what's going on, and it'll be  
much faster with a debugger at my fingertips.
