We have standards for a reason. Stick with /t.

Well, my point was that language tests will be different than the
compiler/parser tests for awhile.  For instance, take a simple string
substitution test:

# simple substitution
my $var = "perl5";
$var =~ s/\d/6/;

While this is completely valid perl6, and something that might want to
be included in the regex test suite, it won't pass neither the P6C parser
tests, nor the P6C compiler tests, nor the P6C regex tests, because
substitution isn't implemented yet.  Therefore, I don't think that it should
be included in the P6C tests.  So where to put it?  If it really needs to go
in /parrot/languages/perl6/t, perhaps tests like these could go in somewhere
like /parrot/languages/perl6/t/future ?
