As I see there are some test units, which try do complex testing of 
given subject (tint, ttrunc, tround etc.) and then there are "ad-hoc" 
test units (name begins with "tw"+number), which more or less react only 
to given bug. (so until bug is reported no test exists).
I do not know if there is somebody who really knows what is in these 
"tw" test units ? (I doubt that somebody can remember what is in 
thousand of files)

So wouldn't be better have less bigger test units for example 
"tcurrency" which will do complex testing for for example all 
math.operations with currency data type ?
(as opposed to have lot of fragments in lot of anonymous files)
