The existing standbycheck does statically test for all the things that
should be allowed and all the things that should be disallowed. If its
missing some, please say.

Standbycheck doesn't test dynamic behaviour, which is more than a
regression test suite is supposed to do. Yes, dynamic tests needed also.

The most important thing now is that there are some tests in CVS and
they cover the documented static behaviours.
