If what you are saying is true, then that is appalling, David. Any
package which is not rigorously tested is completely and utterly
broken, as anyone who code, knows.
I think maybe future versions of flint should have no test suite and
no documentation. It would get done three times faster.
I vote that all packages without a decent test suite be deprecated.
