Stéfan and Scott, thanks for the information. I will give it a try to
create some test cases. I wrote Lev Givon, the author of those functions
an email to discuss some ideas about testing. I was not sure whether he
is still subscribed to this list and wrote him direct.

I will read the test guidelines and come back if I have some questions
about them.
