I'm not sure I understand. Can you also include new test assertions (see
lib/perl5db.t and lib/perl5db/t/ in the Perl distribution) that will fail
before the changes to the production code and will pass after applying them?
See:

* http://perl-begin.org/uses/qa/

I don't understand.

Not sure I understand (again). Can you provide a test case?
