    Basically running pd patches that are designed to test
    something, then output a standard result, like the word
    "SUCCESS" or something like that.  We need to write them :)

What about starting to make a list of things to test? I'd nominate [expr]... And (you'll love this :) externals' authors can make similar test patches for their stuff!
