Hi,

I am an Outreachy applicant interested in open source development. I
have started reading through docs for this project, and noticed that
many of the tests in t/ that are marked as expected to succeed are
failing.  Is this normal and to be expected, or is there I chance I
messed something up in the build phase.

Also, for my microproject I was considering replacing some of the
calls to 'test' in t/ with their debug-friendly helper functions.
There seem to still be a lot of files that would qualify. Is this
particular microproject still desired?

Thanks ahead of time for your help.
