There was quite a lot of history of smoke tests and the like on the
devel releases in between; mostly at:

  http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Scalar-List-Utils+1.23_03

(also a little at _01, _02 and _04).

This covered a wide range of OS platforms and Perl versions, though
didn't include the "rare" ones like VMS, IRIX or HP-UX. That said, given
it worked entirely without a FAIL across all these platforms already,
and there wasn't any OS-specific code change included, I felt it safe
enough to call 1.24 without reference here.
