Description
rrule_test takes in sample sensitivities (tangents) for all inputs,even though rrule. doesn't use them (since it is reverse mode) which gives us something to test accumulation against.
ffule_test should do the same.
needful to be more consistent in how we handle testign that: see #59

Research direction
Start by locating the rrule_test and ffule_test entry points and compare how sample sensitivities are handled. Read issue #59 for the intended testing consistency; done means the forward-mode test accepts sample input tangents in the same manner as rrule_test.
