@theory shouldn't this PR have kicked off an automated test run? |

It would have if you didn't keep changing your damn GitHub account name, @jnasbyupgrade! Is this who you are now? Currently the collaborators are:

Ahh, didn't realize tests were limited to contributors. You can remove nasbyj since I no longer work at Amazon. This is my new work account. I can also just do things from my personal account if you'd rather that. |

Whichever you prefer. Maybe if @jnasbyupgrade is another work account it should be your personal account? @decibel already had the permissions. |

A useful test pattern is to define a matrix of tests in a table or view by building a cartesian join of multiple dimensions. If you do that, you'll want to do something along the lines of SELECT plan( 0 + <some number of static tests> + (SELECT count(*) FROM test_view) ); Because count(*) returns bigint doing this with plan(int) forces you to cast the output of count(*) to int. Switching plan() to accept a bigint removes the need for that cast.
