absolutely.

I'm certainly hoping to quickcheck all that is quickcheckable. The next thing i
want to add to the tests is the TLS startup configuration, to that quickcheck test
every possible handshake scenario (certificate, no certificate, block cipher,
stream cipher, RSA, DH, DSA, TLS1.2, TLS1.1, TLS1.0, SSL3, etc).

There's also the type-system experience, which raise the safety experience massively.
I feel much better seeing pure functions and clearly bounded types instead of a pointer
to the whole world as it is quite common in gnutls and openssl.
