Wow, that's great. So, I'll try to rework the test code I posted
previously into something less hacky, and eventually add a #define
like this so we can run it on the buildfarm. There's a few other
things that need to get done before that really makes sense - like
getting the rest of the bug fix patches committed - otherwise any
buildfarm critters we add will just be permanently red.

Thanks to Noah and Stephen for your replies also - it is good to hear
that if I spend the time to make this committable, somebody will use
it.
