Both are in the testsuite, and both are useful.
However, a regression or long-lived failure on an optimization test
isn't nearly as nasty as the same thing on a correctness test. It
would be nice to be able to tell the difference easily. :-O
Perhaps some verbiage could be added somewhere asking people to please
note in their testcases *which* they are testing? Or something like
that?
