Less great news :)

I don't understand what you mean here.  Are you looking for
the commit that introduced the test?  The "variant" support?

What one-line change are you referring to?

Thanks a lot.  I think I found the problem (the test suite is buggy,
but it most cases it will work by accident).  I'm sad that I did not
get a type error in the test suite, I should have a look at how I
can get one.

Could you please confirm that the bug is fixed with this tarball?

Thanks!
