Previously many individual topic branches from the same author, all
regarding tests.  I thought it probably was ready for 'next' but was
holding off as we seem to still keep getting many fixes on top.

FWIW I won't be submitting new stuff on top of this for a while. So as
far as that's concerned it can go into next.
