        For me it happens frequently when I muck with the lower level
functions. It's no bother if it's as easy as naming tests 00_stuff, etc.
        YMMV, and probably does.

        Beats me what a smokebot is. Presumably it's something I should
know about. But I only have so many hours in the day to know about everything,
so simple and not requiring effort is better, for me anyway.
        Again, YMMV.
