+Briefly, simply create your new test in the appropriate location under [src/test](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test).  No registration of test files is necessary as 
 `compiletest` will scan the [src/test](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test) subfolder recursively, and will execute any Rust source files it finds as tests.

 ## Header Commands
 Source file annotations which appear in comments near the top of the source file *before* any test code are known as header
