I agree with that decision. It's better to not leave any user-facing
quirks just for internal's sake.
The right thing would be to either expose enough of the range_set api
through a test-range-set command, or just write all the tests in C.
Both seem a bit excessive since the API doesn't have any users outside
of log -L, which probably approaches "reasonable quality" now that you
shaked it down quite a bit.
As for the series, my tuits don't go further than a cursory read today,
but from that it seems good.
