I think that the problem with applying unit testing to IDL is that a
lot of us tend to fart about (http://cow.mooh.org/idl.shtml) . There
is often no planning process, so there is no foresight about designing
a test bed before writing the application.

As a rule of thumb, most arguments to a procedure are converted to
float() on the first line of arithmetic.
I would argue that a good unit test does not have to iterate over all
combinations of heap variable types.
Perhaps you could create a wrapper which cycles through all heap
variable combinations.
