No, we haven't. It's only tested through its usage in a dozen or so
storage engines, which is not a very good test.
My best idea at present is to implement a new storage engine (called
"apitest"?) that has some concrete, known behavior (some good data,
lots of known bad data), along with lots of assertions about behavior
from the server, and then write tests that exercise those behaviors
from the SQL layer via the normal test suite.
