An associate pointed out the obvious:  let it run in production
for a few months; that will find far more *realistic* issues
than a casual inspection would!  (Gee, does he distrust my
code?  :>  ).

may need to add (some of the data types are probably a bit
too exotic for most users).  I figure I can always contribute
them just before a release...
