The ansi-test repository is not a per-implementation fork, or at least
is not meant to be
one. We can just as well use that as a "common fork", if that's fine
with other people.
In addition to removal of incorrect tests, the ansi-test repo merely
contains small changes
that allow the suite to run on abcl, in addition to everything else it
already runs on.
