[elephant-devel] Fwd: some patches

I sent this message yesterday but I guess it got stuck in the mailing
list filter. Perhaps the attachment was too big. Since my
common-lisp.net user hhjelte does not have write access to elephant I
have placed the patches from here instead:
darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/grand-prix/darcs/elephant

Here are some darcs patches that might be of interest. I had some
problems with map-index on db-postmodern that made me almost rip my
hair of, but finally I made it to work again. The problem is that
map-index for a string value rely on the ordering in the btree
(continue-p makes use of less than for strings). The postmodern
backend relies on how the database backend orders things, which is not
always the same thing. Is it a necessary feature that b-trees of
string and objects are required to be ordered by lisp-compare<=?

In the process of solving the bug I have upgraded the test framework
to use FiveAM instead of RT, It has in my opinion a very nice syntax
and some useful features to track dependencies between tests. I hope
you agree that it improves on things.
