Mea Culpa !
I really misunderstood the topic of this thread :)
I was thinking that we could add an "Unit test library" to the ExtLib, which
would of course be compiled with it.
As for "writing unit tests for ExtLib" , if someone have enough will to so
so, then why not... but I don't see myself covering all Enum cases that can
occur with unit tests :-) I think we can make releases/bugfix enough often
to wait for the users to find bugs.
