It is also not the case if you want to test a very large number of
well-defined set of semantics. musl libc has a test[0] repo for this
purpose. This is however, outside the scope of sbase due to the
much lower complexity that we have to deal with. People should not
solely rely on the results of some automated testing however, but it
can help at times.
