------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Ideally, every non-trivial bug fix will have a regression test.  Consider
 making and documenting a policy that requires that bug fixes will have
 accompanying regression tests, or some searchable justification (Trac
 keyword?) for why it's infeasible to add one.  (Often this is a symptom
 that the underlying code is too complex and needs refactoring.)

 This documentation should probably be somewhere under `doc/HACKING`.
