Beware, I've already seen tests failing when they "should not" have. For
example, a bug in the compiler, or some external library can produce
very strange bugs and make some tests unexpectedly fail (whereas others
seemingly testing the same thing succeed). Think about a bug in the
compiler itself, for example.
