Bah.  Sorry about that.

It's unfortunate that we have two copies of the test -- one on codes
and one on strings -- but that's how everything else in gengenrtl.c
is done.  Maybe a later clean-up.

Looks good to me.

I wonder if there's others with similar characteristics...  The toplevel 
objects come to mind, but ultimately we don't want them to be RTXs at 
all IMHO.

Anyway, it's a good cleanup unto itself and clearly folks have gotten it 
wrong in the past based on your testing results.  Thanks for taking care 
of it.
