Apologises for the continuing postings of not-entirely complete

No problem. Actually, your other pending patch is absolutely complete,
if considered, as it should, a proposal (I'm coming to it tomorrow or
monday latest), besides the performance testcase, I mean ;)
Anyway, this new idea seems very nice in principle, indeed: it's always
good to increase the coverage!
However, I must report that people start vaguely complaining, not always
explicitly, not always completely seriously, that the time it takes to
run our testsuite is increasing quickly. Probably people will just get
used to this, probably it's unavoidable. Still, let's wait a bit for
other opinions before embarking in the work and please give this issue
special attention: in my opinion, a good compromise would be
instantiating *only once* each available specialization. Are you aiming
for this already?
Paolo.
