We can take an empirical approach.  Implement the test, and run it
against the whole catalog.  Then examine all the cases - how many
there are, which ones seem to be false positives, and which ones seem
to be valid.  Then we can make the decision.  In the past, I usually
did it on my own, but now that more people are interested, we can
review them together.

For those interested, here's the superslow web interface showing error
tags for all the catalogs:
