The previous iteration had a "while at it" style fix to another test
a few lines back, which is the only difference the end state of this
iteration has relative to the older round. The movement of part of
[8/12] to this step is logically correct (even though it does not
show in the end state, of course).
Shall we mark the topic ready for 'next' by now?
Thanks.
