Um, I hate to break this to you folks, but, barring an AI diff being
available, the regression tests might need to be adjusted anyway, since
they rely on a particular table output format which I cannot guarantee to
(or even want to) reproduce exactly.
But I hear the tests were going to be revised for 7.0 anyway, right? ;)
Since I got you into this mess I would certainly try to help to resolve
it, but that's a future issue.
