That's what I meant, a test ;-)

Interesting. I guess this is documented in the Wiki? Anyway, just a
quick question: How is the correct advance() order ensured in that
list? I'm sure it makes a big difference if one character is advanced
before the other..

Yes, you're right, I was a bit confused... ;-)

Will check it when building finishes (half an hour or so).
