This approach implies a test driven codebase, where every exception to
deliberate behavior at the functional level is called out by the test
schema.

That doesn't describe the scope of our test-framework, which consists only
of behavioral run-time testing against a small and discrete list of
expectations. No automated testing will substitute at this particular
project for attentive code review, although it would be very kind to run
all PR's through a compile validation for the benefit of the submitter and
reviewers.
