Hello Robert,
I know it's really a problem with the numbers.
But debugging the code it is very useful to have the tests numbered. So it will
be more easy to find the test which has problems. I have spend a lot of hours
with the test file to find the bugs in the code of $specint.
So, for debugging the numbered tests are very useful, later for maintaining the
tests the numbered tests are more troublesome.
The best would be to have more flexibility within the testsuite. But that's
another project.

It's OK in this case to insert another test, but in general I think it
makes unnecessary difficulties to number the tests in the comments.
Typically tests are added or taken away more or less at random.
I don't see a good reason to make that unworkable.

OK by me.
