Having already gotten it to work properly ("WHRLPOOL" ->
"NO_WHIRLPOOL"), I'd settle for getting some comments added (somewhere,
anywhere) to explain how the stuff works and/or should be used. It
seems pretty clear that whoever stuck (the non-"NO_") "WHRLPOOL" into
that list (of "NO_*" items) could have used a little guidance. As
usual, I see no good reason for the apparently random order in a list
like this.

Note that _I_ added the most recent defect to that procedure, because
I was misled by the (unnecessarily) deviant indenting following the line
containing "tests := -". If you're looking for something to reform,
then a good way to start would be sucking those annoying, useless TAB
characters out of those procedures in "test/", doing which would reduce
the incentive to damage the indenting in the first place.
