quotes.sh had been red since the compiler's diagnostics grew a source excerpt: the
needle swallowed the caret lines, so result, quoted and i64index failed against a
page that is in fact correct. It now compares the message and nothing else.
Six other probes are deleted rather than fixed. Vec, Map, Handle, an Fn-typed
parameter, a defer inside a let and break were all refused as not-implemented when
the loop was written; all six work today and the page's table lost their rows as
each landed, so the probes were the last thing in the tree asserting a claim the
page no longer makes. What made this invisible for weeks is worth recording: flan
check answers a program that compiles with its whole symbol table, so each of those
probes failed by printing eighty lines of prelude signatures. A clean exit is now
its own one-line failure saying the page's claim has gone stale.
