Have there been developments on this front? I haven't seen anything in the
patch tracker messages. It was something I was going to work on, but I
focused on UTF-8 first, then the Return/Control-Return/Escape interface
issues. The interface issues turned out to be frustrating to work out, and I
haven't gotten to the unit test libraries.

Seems sane.

That's clear, but long. Other possibilities:
-unittest.pd
-t.pd
.pdt
.pdtest
