We could that. But since the words are basically run-of-the-mill and nothing exotic (like we had for the scheme driver), I gladly forgo a test script at this time. In the past, these test scripts turned out to be non-trivial to get correct and it was a burden for both the author and the reviewers. It would certainly exceed the scope of a microproject.
