That's a great idea.  I will be there.  I'm also hoping to help run a
routable on complex types so we'll need times that don't conflict.  What
times work well for folks?

Ok.  I'd like to learn more about debuginfo-tests and how they're set
up.

Right.  These are the kinds of tests I've been thinking about.
