I like the intent of the text, but it seems to be implying that a test
can override stripping behavior mandated by a match type.
I thought we've agreed previously that this is not a good idea.
yes, I agree. however, it's a cop-out just in case the base spec and
relational don't get changed, because that is (as I see it) how it
stands: ":value" changes the stripping behaviour of all test actions.
the text above isn't normative, anyway.
