But if the test is revealing a true flaw in the system, better to keep
it than to remove it and pat ourselves on the back about "all tests
passing."

Well, I thought we would start to fix the existing broken tests before  
adding new broken tests.

I would also be very happy to see some comments when someone adds a  
new broken test, so I know what the plan is.

Now I added an implementation of Integer>>hex, for example, but I am  
not so sure why we need this.
Ain't too many senders. An easier fix would have been to remove the  
broken test.

Cheers,
