The above I can parse, I know what these words mean, yet I do not think I understand what the sentences want to say. What is the point of saying the first sentence, for example? Is it the reason why "Move them ... to Clar" is a good idea? Is it what allows us to "Move them ... to Clar" (in other words, if the tests used more than just mergesort.h, moving to Clar would have been impossible)? > Store the list items in an array so cleanup can free them even if the > sort leaves the links broken. > > Remove t0071 and the helper's generate and test commands.
