It's probably better to test on other people's code, since your own will
always use eclass code in the way you imagine it being used. For changes
to popular eclasses like this, I'd go find a cross-section of 25+
packages written by a variety of people besides yourself (or just test
all 87 in the tree). Bonus points for those written by the most and
least experienced devs, who I'd expect to use things in more
unexpected/unlikely ways.
