I've being meaning to implement this for a while, but haven't yet.

Speaking of test result on M12 and trunk -- before release I make sure
there are no failure on Linux, and ask folks to test on Windows. However,
on Windows things are a bit tricky as I did not have Windows access,
so those 4 failures are expected.

I suspect the current trunk might have regressed a bit -- last time
I tries there were failures in tests related to regression testing
(the run rule, timing builtins, etc).
