So let's revise the tests to account for this.
Perhaps we need two object invocation tests so
that the performance can be compared.

I've been thinking about the proposal to drop this
test, and I think we should keep it (or at least
something like it).  The fact that C or ML may
not be able to implement this test should just
mean that it is not part of the CRAPS score (or
default to zero).
