Well, having tests can be really useful, for instance when making
changes to packages.
But maybe it should be good to have (a) dedicated package(s) for
shipping them, much like the development packages in Linux
distributions.

Another test that fails is tests.ijs, with :

|index error: invperm
|invperm[:0]

An error which might have otherwise gone uncaught?

Other packages like for instance Maxima also ship with a fairly large
test suite.

Just my 2 cents
