That was precisely my proposal:  when trying to check in changes to a
stdlib module, we required that developers ensure that the module's
tests, *and* those of its dependents, pass.  We would need to add new
testing infrastructure to support this expectation by computing (and
saving) the dependency graph of the stdlib.  I originally suggested
build time for this, but now think that it would better be built during
an intial full run of the suite.
