(a) errortrace is adding a good runtime factor -- and the tests take a
considerable time (compiling in errortrace mode can work too, but
even that is horribly expensive)
(b) There's a *lot* of code, so keeping track of all expressions will
be a problem
(c) code is executed one test suite at a time, so it will require
running it, collecting the results, etc, then combining them all.
