  I think runtest might be a good fit for the runtime tests, but it requires 
quite a bit of data, and results may still deviate a bit over time (sometimes
serialization changes), it at least ensure most of the main APIs are working
correctly.

  testapi is rather an internal test, and testsuite is way too focused
on specific schemas issues (plus it requires globs of data).
