+If you don't care about reproducing the output of `continue()` and just want to recreate its return value, you can use `mock_output_sequence()`. This creates a function that each time it's called returns the next input supplied to `mock_output_sequence()`. The following code shows how it works and how you might use it to test `readline()`:
+
+```{r}
+f <- mock_output_sequence(1, 12, 123)
+f()
+f()
+f()
+```
+
+And 
+
+```{r}
+test_that("user must respond y or n", {
+  local_mocked_bindings(readline = mock_output_sequence("x", "y"))
+  expect_true(continue("This is dangerous"))
+})
+```
+
+
 If you were testing the behavior of some function that uses `continue()`, you might want to mock `continue()` instead of `readline()`. For example, the function below requires user confirmation before overwriting an existing file. In order to focus our tests on the behavior of just this function, we mock `continue()` to return either `TRUE` or `FALSE` without any user messaging.

 In this vignette, you'll learn about the three-part structure of expectations, how to test your custom expectations, see a few examples, and, if you're writing a lot of expectations, learn how to reduce repeated code.
 
+## Do you need it?
+
+But before you read the rest of the vignette and dive into the full details of creating a fully 100% correct expectation, consider if you can get away with a simpler wrapper. For example, take this expectation from tidytext:
+
+```{r}
+# from tidytext
+expect_nrow <- function(tbl, n) {
+  expect_s3_class(tbl, "data.frame")
+  expect_equal(nrow(tbl), n)
+}
+```
+
+If we use it in a test you can see there's a subtle problem:
+
+```{r}
+#| error: true
+test_that("success", {
+  expect_nrow(mtcars, 32)
+})
+test_that("failure 1", {
+  expect_nrow(mtcars, 30)
+})
+test_that("failure 2", {
+  expect_nrow(matrix(1:5), 2)
+})
+```
+
+Each of these tests contain a single expectation, but they report a total of 2 successes and failures. It would be confusing if testthat didn't report these numbers correctly. But as a helper in your package, it's probably not a big deal and you save yourself some pain by not reading this vignette 😀. You might also notice that these failures generate a backtrace whereas most failures don't. Again this is not a big deal, and the backtrace is correct, it's just not needed.

 ## Expectation basics
 
 An expectation has three main parts, as illustrated by `expect_length()`:
