The svUnit package is suggested by sqldf, so the test is a thorough one.
I'll then also package
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/svUnit/index.html . The package
is a helper for unit testing, which suggests that we only need it as a
test-dependency and do not need to add it as a build dependency.

The CRAN package page also lists gsubfn as a reverse suggests, but that
was fine, right?

Best,
Steffen
