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

 99   *
100   * This is basically the right semantics, but has a bit of a glitch depending on

102   * becomes effectively perfect, ignoring freshness.
