+tainted data is bad, and how to untaint the data.

+When you're writing unit tests for code that deals with tainted data, you'll
+want to have a way to provide tainted data for your routines to handle, and
+easy ways to check and report on the taintedness of your data, in standard
+@code{Test::More} style.")
