I care a lot about being able to automatically check _any_ property about my
2022-06-15 06:47:49 +01:00
program before it ever runs. However, some things don't have tests yet, either
because I don't know how to test them or because I've been lazy. I'll at least
record those here.
### Compromises
Lua is dynamically typed. Tests can't patch over lack of type-checking.
* All strings are UTF-8. Bytes within them are not characters. I try to label

byte offsets with the suffix `_offset`, and character positions as `_pos`.
For example, `string.sub` should never use a `_pos` to substring, only an
`_offset`.
