-...learning must be understood as a process of identity formation 
-through which unknowing, unschooled novices gradually come to understand
-themselves as contributing, knowing members of a particular community
-of practice...
+Users see failing tests and complain. Some tests are intended to fail.
+These can be enabled from the command line, e.g.
+   make TESTSET=regresstests
+
+The available options are
+richtests      -- the Albert Rich integration tests (very long time)
+catstests      -- the computer algebra test suite CATS (very long time)
+regresstests   -- the src/input and algebra tests (normal)
+alltests       -- very long time
+notests        -- skip the tests
