Re: Question about test cases in "mysql-test" directory

The tests in mysql-test/t and those beneath mysql-test/suite
constitute the set of all tests.

Both mysql-test/t and and the tests beneath mysql-test/suite are
disjoint subsets of the set of all tests.

The union of mysql-test/t and the tests beneath mysql-test/suite are
equal to the set of all tests. (The same as sentence one above,
essentially)

(Feel free to correct my set theory terminology.)
