/*
	Tests for XGB.

	These tests only test the core X protocol at the moment. It isn't even
	close to complete coverage (and probably never will be), but it does test
	a number of different corners: requests with no replies, requests without
	replies, checked (i.e., synchronous) errors, unchecked (i.e., asynchronous)
	errors, and sequence number wrapping.

	There are also a couple of benchmarks that show the difference between
	correctly issuing lots of requests and gathering replies and
	incorrectly doing the same. (This particular difference is one of the
	claimed advantages of the XCB, and therefore XGB, family.
