It's probably better to test on other people's code, since your own will 
always use eclass code in the way you imagine it being used. For changes 
to popular eclasses like this, I'd go find a cross-section of 25+ 
packages written by a variety of people besides yourself (or just test 
all 87 in the tree). Bonus points for those written by the most and 
least experienced devs, who I'd expect to use things in more 
unexpected/unlikely ways.
