I should add, I didn't look closely at that part since you said it's
not in scope for back-patching.  I'd like to, though, later.

I wonder if you would be interested in this attempt at centralised
infrastructure for unit testing our C code over here.  I'm not
suggesting it for your immediate problem, just noting the overlap:

Basically I would like to be able to dump easy-to-write files into the
tree that say stuff like this ↓ and have the build scripts find them,
build them and test them without all the module boilerplate stuff or a
running server (though that aspect is obviously not relevant for your
frontend case).  Like you find in googletest or various xunit-style
systems in other projects, but integrated with our TAP universe (or
whatever replaces it if we escape from Perl).  But I never got the
configure part of it working.
