Beyond the fact that these are JS tests not realy "browser" tests,  no!

This class of JS programming call it "extreme JS programming" is not
an interesting use of the language.   It might be if you were coding
an update to the JS engine.

One test, earley-boyer.js, is generated: "automatically generated by scheme2js".

If you are visiting web sites that commonly use this much
java script in this class of obscure and arcane ways you are
in a strange world
 $ wc -l *js
   233 base.js
   880 deltablue.js
  4685 earley-boyer.js
  1614 regexp.js
   539 richards.js

Golly,,,
