 24   *  2. Some test methods are templated to allow for easier testing
 25   *  against new versions / comparing
 26   *  3. Results should be treated as a regression test, i.e., did the behavior
 27   *  change significantly from what was expected. This can be OK, depending on
 28   *  the nature of the change, but requires updating the tests to reflect the new
 29   *  expected behavior. For example improving the hit rate may cause some tests
 30   *  using BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE to fail.
