Unfortunately, I'm rather in the same boat. Thats why I haven't been
exactly enthusiastic about diving in a grabbing a whole package.

A Test suite is something I may be able to work on. The way I understand
the problem, we need to verify that all the Collections return expected
results. So we build a test suite that loads initial values into each
collection type, then test the Collection to see if it even loaded values
right. Then test each method (several tests, probably) based on hard
coded expected results. I'm obviously missing something difficult here,
so clue me in if you would.

I'll look at the other concretes to see what can be done.
