Looking at the patch, I guess it would rarely influence on other
backends, but yes, it's a good point.  More test coverages would be
better.

In general, you can use freely M17N:Devel subproject for such a
testing purpose.  Ask people testing packages on M17N:Devel, at least
for regression tests, then move up to M17N.  This is a safer
procedure.
