+This file contains only the [Falderal][] directives that define the different
+functionalities tested by the test suite, assuming that it's the reference
+implementation, `sixtypical`, that is going to implement these functionalities,
+and additionally that `sixtypical` is running under Python 2.7.

+NOTE that this is not well-supported anymore, given that Python 2.7 is past
