[cells-devel] Call for Cells Regression Test Suite Additions

This is mostly for Thomas who is actually using a couple of features I 
have added to Keep Other People Happy, but I thought the list would be 
interested...

I am ripping out the disgusting dataflow-interference code. The bad news 
is that if I succeed I will  have to kill myself, because the 
replacement solution is about ten lines of code /and/ works better, 
whereas you just need to look at the original code to see what a 
nightmare it was getting that to work.

Anyway, it occurs to me the regression test does not include any 
checking of either lazy cells or unbounditude handling. Speaking of 
laziness, I probably will not do tests for those on my own, so if you 
would like Cells II tested out before release for either of those please 
send along some tests. It would be nice if they worked via cv-assert. 
Note that in some places I also confirm that an error is produced on 
deliberate no-nos. You might want to do some of that, too.
