I don't recall our original reasoning, but I envision that with such a
macro students will think they are only disabling the tests "below"
the "call" and become confused. This isn't to say we shouldn't switch
to a macro

Why not add a macro to the test-engine code so that students can write

Apparently this broke somewhere in between v5.0 (June 2010) where it
works and v5.1 (Feb 2011) where it doesn't. I can't use git bisect
to
find the precise commit because the earlier version doesn't
compile on
either my windows or my mac machine (mac is lion and windows uses
too
new of a version of visual studio).
And I *hate* touching this code because something always ends up
broken. I got really mad last time this code broke and so I hope we
have better test suites now because of that, but I'm really not
excited by the prospect of trying to change it again. Not only is
the
code hard to understand because it is poorly written, it is also
unclear what parts of DrRacket it influences.
Given all of this, my inclination is to simply remove this option.
So
far the only one who has spoken in favor of it gave a reason that
(thankfully) no longer applies.
Any objections? Comments?
Mike?
Some tests (especially check-property-based tests) are expensive, and
you don't always want to run them - especially with world/universe-
based
code. Is there a way to have that option only with the student
languages?
