Great!


One general note, though: Where is stuff like that documented?

As far as I can see (and I also asked for documentation a couple of
months ago) there is practically no documentation at all for the
testsuite, especially about

 o the structure of the suite
   (Where to add test cases? Naming conventions?)

 o the features of the testsuite
   (Part of which you have described in your mail -- thanks!)

 o how to extend the testsuite (with additional features)


Personally I think that it would be highly desirable to start some
documentation, so that at least future changes can be described at
a single place.

Perhaps your mail can serve as a starting point?
