Dear Zdeněk,
I fully agree with you. But I don't think that a test is useless
only because it doesn't catch all possible errors.

What I propose is to

  \let\uwe\proceed

Zdeněk, I'm certainly much more pessimistic than you, but I think that
we should allow Uwe to prove that our assumptions are wrong.

The only alternative I can imagine is to do nothing.

Regards,
  Reinhard
