we have a couple of test docs but no regression suits .. there have been
several attempts to set this up but no one is following up on that
consistently and it's not something that taco and i are going to
maintain (too much to do already)
anyhow, most reports about bugs refer to mkiv and esp structure related
things; keep in mind that most counter, number conversion, multipass
info, etc has been completely rewritten from scratch so there are
definitely bugs esp in gray areas and since some of the control model
has changed, we even will have differnces in configuration between mkii
and mkiv (topic for the context meeting)
this will sort itself out as more is tested
