Yes, and such answers are inherently political.  That's what I mean by
"we need guys on the Shootout mailing list."  What should the default
testing weights be, for all of these languages?  Are the current ones
reasonable?  Maybe they aren't.  Maybe we can get a consensus from some
other language people that they aren't.  Or, if not consensus, something
in our own interest.
