No problem.

Well normally my rule i s - if it gets re-used then do it, otherwise it
just involves more indirection to follow. :) But regardless of that,
given some other things you ask for that kind of makes this discussion
moot as it requires much bigger wholesale changes to the test infra
which will make these patches a lot more work. I'll get to that later in
mails.

As above - will probably have to redo a lot of the test infra involving
the shell tests to handle some of your other requests, but if we don't
go that way, I have got where you want to go and I can do this.
