+Hi David.\r

+\r
+Isn't this function the same as something like "test_expect_equal $x t"?\r
+\r
+IMO the function seems too complex for what it does (and basically that\r
+is "compare $x with t"). Why do we need to implement it in such a way?\r
+\r
+Also, the function has nothing to do with emacs (except for the fact\r
+that 't' is commonly used in it).\r
+\r
+I think a more useful approach would be to add a function which takes a\r
+lisp expression, runs test_emacs and compares the result with "t" using\r
+test_expect_equal or similar. This way you do not need to make an\r
+explicit test_emacs call and avoid code duplication when checking the\r
+result. test_emacs_expect_t should be a good name for it. What do you\r
+think?\r
+\r
+Regards,\r
