Oh no!

I honestly don't think that this is a good idea.  (I should have
replied about this earlier, and for that lapse I apologise.)  I claim
that the use of *features* for functionality testing is almost always
wrong, in that it does not have a fine enough granularity; it's
usually better to test for the functionality you actually need.

Cheers,

Christophe
