I think a big factor (of many probably) is there is a ~150x difference in bytes of source vs number of tests for them. I.e. I wonder what other projects are easy wins, which are hard ones, and which can be accomplished quickly with a certain approach.

It'd be really interesting if Simon gave a crack at the above and wrote about his findings in doing so. Or at least, I'd find it interesting :).
