Yes, this is a *huge* help.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally won't check in a Cons
change without some sort of test case. There's no actual policy
enforcing this rule, but it's the way I work, and reflects the priority
I place on backwards-compatibility in a build tool. YMMV.
The tests or examples don't have to be an actual cons-test script. The
coding of the test isn't the hard part. What takes the most time is
simply thinking through how to test a condition effectively, and maybe
creating the right Conscript. A general description of precisely how to
recreate the problem, or exercise a new feature, is fine. A tar file
containing a small example is even better.
