I intend to write a unified shell for busybox that can act as a real bash
replacement (at least for most real-world use, I'm sure I'll miss corner

Not that I know of. Most of that's performance, things like smaller hashes
that degrade to linked lists more easily.

Well, busybox itself has a testsuite. "make check". Dunno how useful that
is, we're adding lots of tests to it still...
