You could look at the results of the nightly tests to see if your change
has caused the breakage.

It seems odd to me that the goal paths and order have changed.
The dice command is meant to display differences in events between
failing and passing test cases.  The order of the events is determined
by the command's arguments.  I don't think that changes to the
program representation should affect this.
