You see.  No Pango test suite means little confidence that an incoming patch
doesn't break other stuff.  So I have to find and spend a good 45min slot on
it, to read the code, remember all the delicacies, walk through the change,
and convince myself that all the corner cases will still work.  Would have
been much easier if it was "here's a new test that fails; here's the patch;
now everything psases".  I know you already know this.  I was wondering if
you're making any progress on the Pango test suite front! :D

PS. Thanks for the great writeup.  I'm forking it to discuss gtest in general.
