Two sorts of testing - a) compiler, b) modules.
Each category has different environment and function.
a) compiler.
An official test suite is defined (and probably will be added to as
corner cases / ambiguities are discovered and disambiguation decided, so
presumably some standardisation of test

That sounds like a good idea, but it would require that the above Test
functionality be included in the automated tests... which runs the
risk of infinite recursion.

I think it's good to have a prototype Test.pm that we can point to as
a reference, but I don't think we need to try to designate it as being

Howdy,
The test suite is considered "official" as in "everything that passes
the (completed) test suite may name itself Perl 6", and nearly all of
these files 'use Test'; However we don't ship an "official" Test.pm, nor
do we define which test functions it should contain and export by
default, nor
