I think at least the duplicate code should be removed.

Yes, a lot of work... I'm not sure how much I will be able to contribute. I
knew some rabbit holes would emerge...
I'm not familiar with taskell, let's see how things work out.

specific to global variables.
It is very hard to make code look clean, if it tests everything, even
non-clean cases.

I agree.

Maybe this should be left to the make file? Or how the test automation is
done?
