Last time I checked the core has "6 TESTS UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED"
What's the expected number of unexpected successes?
Can it be made to be zero, even though we're testing the test modules?
If so, I think that that would be useful, as it would mean that any (real)
TODO test that unexpectedly started passing would be noticed.
I bring this up because we seem to have inadvertently fixed really old regexp
bugs that we didn't have a test case for, but I realise that right now adding
TODO tests wouldn't actually have been *that* useful - if a TODO passes we
don't notice.
It would be good if we were in a position to notice. I'm not sure how much
work that would be.
This was recently discussed in qa, but I don't think anything became of
it :(
