True. I personally agree with you that the convergence tests are useful.
But I do not think the "cost" of keeping them is nothing. And I can
understand if others find them more annoying than useful. I started a

I'll try to update it from time to time. It won't be complete, but
perhaps it can at least serve as a basis for future discussion and
