Hi!

FWIW I’d prefer to avoid auto-extracted documentation.  Presumably it
would take a little bit of writing to provide more introductory text and
transitions between the different parts of the API.

Perhaps under “Simple Generic Data Types”, after “Strings”.  What do you
think?

Just drop it under ‘test-suite/tests’, with a ‘define-module’.  A few
comments on what the tests do would be welcome too as it looks a bit
dense at first sight.  :-)
