Yeah, well, it's a general-purpose testing library. So obviously I want 
to make sure it works correctly. The daft thing is, there's no automated 
way to do that; I built a big automated system that makes it generate 
lots of test logs, and then I manually look at each one to check that 
the test output matches the test spec.
