Trying to determine why speculation backed by ralph's hardware
extension libraries does not produce any speedup.  Simplified backed
test to only a single object.  Still need to add test harness.
Ensures that verbatim issues newlines as newlines rather than escaping them directly.
Extended hardware objects that speculate on commit are not actually
increasing throughput.  Added a simplified test case to ensure that
this actually worked.  Currently, it fails.
