-These tests catch configuration problems for some code constants that
-must be maintained manually.  We have them separated out from the other
-tests so that they can easily be run in their own gate job and don't
-affect local development.
-
-It would be nice if someone with some free time could figure out how
-to make these changes automatic (or unnecessary) ...
