You'll want to use ExtensionDatabase as a database base class; that's an
easy way to make every *.cpp file a test.  And, yes,
compilation_test.SimpleCompilationTest would make a good base class for
the test class bits.

The methods that raise NotImplementedError are not placeholders; they
are methods that are expected to be overridden in derived classes.  In
particular, SimpleCompilationTest overrides them.
