We add the examples that are provided on bug reports as tests to avoid regressions. > So wouldn't be better have less bigger test units for example "tcurrency" which will do complex testing for for example all math.operations with currency data type ? > (as opposed to have lot of fragments in lot of anonymous files) > Feel free to write such a test.
