I know that you do and I really appreciate this!
But since ESRs rewrite in fall 2014, there are still several
inconsistencies. Eric confirmed that in an email to me. So it's not only
bug hunting, a systematic review of the state is needed.
I've started to write systematic tests (up to my limited knowledge), and
I've asked several times in emacs-devel ML for support, but nearly no
response. That's why I'm kinda frustrated.
Well, forget my lamenting. I'm still willing to help to improve. But I
cannot do this alone, as in the past.

I agree that the tests shall be much more commented. But I see also the
lack of documentation and implicit design decisions (you spoke about
somewhere), which must be improved I believe.
Best regards, Michael.
