Yes, I was most puzzled when trying to find out just what was going on
in that directory.  I wondered whether the test cases were somehow...
copying files from the main Emacs source directories (since many of them
have the same names and are updated in this way).

Yup.  So I think a README to explain what's going on in that directory
would be helpful.  :-)

I've now added a test case for Rust.  (Note: I don't know Rust at all.)
