bug#66776: SRFI-64 test-error doesn't match error types

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello,

I've mean meaning to use 'test-error' in test suites, but as a comment
in its source says, it's currently incomplete:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; TODO: decide how to specify expected error types for Guile.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So, for example, this should fail but passes:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (srfi srfi-64))
(test-begin "test")
(test-error "testing" 'bad (throw 'oops))
(test-end "test")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

'test-error' report success for any type of exception, which means its 2nd
argument is currently unused.

It'd also be nice if as its second argument it could accept non only a
error symbol key, but an exception type *or* an exception predicate,
e.g.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (ice-9 exceptions) (srfi srfi-64))

(define-exception-type &my-exception
  &exception                            ;parent
  make-my-exception                     ;constructor
  my-exception?)                        ;predicate

(test-begin "test-error exception types")

;; Passes, but should fail.
(test-error "&my-exception raised"
  &my-exception
  (raise-exception (make-error)))

;; OR

;; Unimplemented, but passes also.
(test-error "&my-exception raised"
  my-exception?
  (raise-exception (make-error)))

(test-begin "test-error exception types")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

There is a more modern implementation of SRFI-64 out there for Guile
which may provide clues or be used wholesale, though I haven't tried it:
