The "purity test" in purity.el is a fairly new creation from CMU ("the
CMU 400-point test") -- the ASCII version has a revision history at
the top.  The version that exspes refers to is the "(100-point) MIT
Baker House test", which has been running around at MIT since at least
1957.  (I saw a reference to it printed in VooDoo (the now-defunct MIT
humor magazine) that year.)
