Tests please?

Heck, we don't have any to begin with, and this is marked RFC. Given our
usual reluctance to change even undocumented behavior I'm not going to
bother with tests for an RFC.

Quite the contrary, a well written test is a concise and readable way to
illustrate what behaviour the proposed change is making, and helps judging
if it is going in a good direction.  So if it is an RFC, a test would help
very much, especially if there isn't any in the area currently.

While that may be true in some cases (e.g., providing sample output) I
don't think the commit message to 3/3 leaves anything open that a test
could clarify.
