Simplifier tests (was Re: patch applied (testsuite): Add a new category of "eyeball" tests)

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

| Right, if we used pcre-light then it wouldn't be tested when validating,
| as pcre-light isn't a bootlib. Also, if that's a C wrapper then it's
| probably more hassle for people on Windows than a Haskell regex library
| would be.
|
| For the examples you listed, it looks to me like isInfixOf, filter,
| length etc would suffice, though. Writing a Python script to do it is
| another option.

it'd be ok for the eyeball tests to be omitted on validation.  They may well wobble around too, and it'd be good not to expose validators to that
