Could you please consider migrating that test into the testsuite?
You've gone through the trouble of writing tests to make sure
the features work now --- putting it in the testsuite means we
have an automatic-ish means to check that it doesn't get
inadvertently broken in the future. The way it is, when your
code gets in, the test will probably end up lost in the archives.
We wouldn't want that, would we? :-) Having auto-tests, also helps
the person doing the review in confirming things work as
expected (without much effort).
