I certainly didn't mean to imply that, my point about cvsup was precisely
that the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

The only comment I want to add, is that the test-cases should be
expressed such that, if/when we find out Rust wasn't God's gift to
programmers, we can reimplement the tool which interprets them in
some hot-language-du-jour, without having to rewrite all the actual
test-cases.
