Subject: [PATCH 11/37] added test that old singletons behavior is preserved
 when command is used to disable new singletons-by-default behavior

Note that it's a matter of "if these two branches of logic didn't necessarily have to test the same WME from the perspective of the backtracing, it's just by happenstance that they did" where the new behavior is "and so because they did ultimately test the same superstate wme, we won't generalize to say that potentially this logic would have happened had they tested different wmes". The old behavior was basically "and so we'll generalize that if different wmes lead to those same logic traces in the future, we'll already have the chunk"

Subject: [PATCH 12/37] updated literalization_simple to not expect redundant
 foo and bar tests. note that the point of the test was to examine whether
 things were literalized that should be, so this is actually "more correct"
 imo than what was occurring.

Subject: [PATCH 16/37] removed extra tests that only make sense if there were
 multiple operators present with the same names. They weren't really there,
 though. but yes, two logic paths, so it once again comes down to whether
 "identity" should be based entirely on the testing logic or based on the
 superstate. Ahem: Updated ChunkingTests_Chunk_Operator_Tie_Impasse to expect
 chunks without redundant tests.

Subject: [PATCH 23/37] i'm reading a bit into the name of the test
 "disjunction merge", but the point here is that with the singletons setting
 on, the intersection of the disjunctive sets is really what becomes the
 condition in the learned chunk. so, updating disjunction_merge to expect only
 the intersection of the disjunctive tests as the learned disjunction
 conditions.

Subject: [PATCH 30/37] the chunks didn't look bad, but this learns two chunks
 instead of one (a chunk learned from a chunk), and it seemed like it could
 suck up a lot of time to determine the correct behavior, so the
 automatically-create-singletons setting is off.

Subject: [PATCH 34/37] could not eyeball what the precise difference was, but
 in the original (earlier commit) expectation, there was redundant testing, so
 I'm just using the new chunk as the "correct" expectation for this test.

Subject: [PATCH 37/37] the 90 games test is the most problematic. Even with
 the setting switched to off, the old behavior is not precisely replicated,
 but it seems to be a brittle test in general. I suppose just having the
 setting in there at all provides the potential for some arbitrary reordering
 somewhere. this "fix" is to allow one more chunk not to be recognized in
 order to pass the test.
