first successful pagedown test, first bug found by test

I also really need to rethink how people debug my programs. My approach of inserting and deleting print() takes a lot of commitment. I need my old trace-based whitebox testing idea. However, in my past projects I never did figure out a good framework for tweaking how verbose a trace to emit.

Perhaps that's too many knobs. Perhaps we just need a way to run a single test with the most verbose trace possible. Then it's just a matter of having the trace tell a coherent story? But even if the trace stays out of program output in that situation, it's still in the programmer's face in the code. Ugh.

Current plan: ship program with maximum tests and zero commented-out prints. If you want to debug, insert prints. This is better than previous, text-mode, projects just by virtue of the stdout channel being dedicated to debug stuff.
