Thanks.  How did you find this (does the auto &&-chain test apply to
t/perf stuff as well)?

Apparently the &&-chain tests for it as I got a warning for it while
benchmarking some changes in ALLOC_GROW. (which originally
should have fixed the coverity false positives, but I was side tracked
wondering about performance)

That makes sense; we use test_expect_success here, so I think it is good
for it to check that we are actually creating a sane exit status.

It looks like we do not extend the same protection to test_perf (it uses
test_eval_, bnot test_run_). That is probably OK, as those tests are
more about measuring the time than about correctness. OTOH, we do notice
when a test_perf reports failure, so perhaps it would make sense to
extend &&-chaining checks there.
