I've been able to run the "itest-batch" and "utest-batch" from the CEDET
git repository (http://git.code.sf.net/p/cedet/git), but I don't know
how to interpret the results. Whatever the emacs version I use (25.3 or
26.0.91 + fix), I get errors. So I don't know what to check for the
fix/eieio-persistent branch.
