Hi Nico,

mmmh sounds a bit heavy but I'm not able to tell if there is a better
and comprehensive at the same time way of testing it.  Perhaps if you
are chasing the hash bug I guess is more important now.

If there's no reasonable way of testing it either we write a couple of
ad hoc tests or we say we are fine with that.

Not sure if you have seen this
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-06/msg00050.html
there is also the possibility that we are going to change radically all
the eln load mechanism.

  Andrea
