-# XXX: when all but a relative few dozen, say, GeneralStateTests run, remove this,
-# but for now, this enables some CI use before that to prevent regressions. In the
-# separate file here because it would otherwise just distract. Could use all sorts
-# of O(1) or O(log n) lookup structures, or be more careful to only initialize the
-# table once, but notion's that it should shrink reasonable quickly and disappear,
-# being mostly used for short-term regression prevention.
