I'm developing a EDSL for SQL queries that I'll properly announce
tomorrow.  The idea I have in mind is that this code should not
typecheck:

  delete $
  from $ \table ->
  set table []

You should not SET something inside a DELETE statement.  However,
currently that will typecheck---not because I don't know how to fix
it, but because the types were already messy enough and I didn't
ponder about the tradeoffs.

So I would like to put the above snippet on a test suite that says
"this should not typecheck".  It will serve both as a reminder to fix
it someday and as a regression test.  Of course, I could stick each of
these on a separate file and try to compile it, but that would be a
PITA to setup.  Is this a crazy idea? =P

Cheers, =)
