Well … you’re not the only one who wants to get their hands on BFTS.  
🙂 Maybe that’s part of the problem – rather than a “BF” test suite,  
there should be a “BF” collection of little test suites, contributed by  
users with various areas of expertise, such as numerical and scientific  
computing, web applications, Windows development, distributed computing  
– all areas where Ruby is expanding into from its “base” as an  
object-oriented scripting language.

I’d certainly be willing to contribute numerical computing tests – I’ve  
got to build them anyhow. 🙂
