You know, how SQLite3 runs the closed-source $$$$$ TH3 against every release. But then I realized the current method is much cheaper (all things considered), and thus more efficient. :'( (* Reasonable = a peer-reviewed agency (or some such) is given access to the specification and told to write a submission standard (specifying programming language(s), submission format, etc) and an associated automated implementation that receives submissions formatted according to the established standard; and then anybody else who also owns the spec is allowed to raise issues about the submission standard. Yup, the whole thing would cost millions of dollars.)
