It is always possible to write a test for both versions (except
namespace). However it requires a radical change on how we test
things.

Instead of testing the output of given script, we will have to add
logics in a test, something similar to the classic xUnit frameworks.
For example, we will have to do the error msg check inside the test
instead of in run-tests which will only check the output as it does
now, or even better, only OK or FAILED.
