I considered compiling it, but then I thought that most of what is
actually being tested is already compiled (the srfi-13 unit).  Also,
tests for srfi-4, srfi-69, data-structures and others are just
interpreted.

I haven't thought about the types.db entries, so maybe compiling can
provide better coverage.  But then should we compile the other tests?


Best wishes,
Mario
