Well, except it wasn't a pre-existing bug, really. It was just not
exposed to anyone except "experts".

But the tests won't pass, will they, in my scenario?

And the optional packages are also automatically upgraded? Or just the
meta-info in `build/pkgs`? (That is, does `make` not just make what's
brought in, but also any currently installed optional packages?) If they
are auto-upgraded, I think that would suffice for me, as for sure treating
the old-style/new-style issue is separate from this ticket.

Not sure if that was sarcastic but I will be generous and assume not.
> As you will see from looking at the logs, Jeroen installed all optional
doctests to make sure that all tests will pass.
That is not what I was asking about, however.
----
On a related note (certainly not to be dealt with here) would there be
something that would auto test optional ''interfaces'', which are also
marked with `# optional`? Like Maple or Mma. That would be very useful
for keeping those interfaces up-to-date.
