Allison, if you could arrange an official liaison on p6i that could  
direct (in a definitive, buck-stops-here way) authors' efforts w/  
regard to how perl6-specific tests should be written, we would be  
grateful.  We seem to have a decent number of people here willing to do  
it, if they get some tutoring to start out.
