I think writing tests for this will be a bit of a job, as we need to provide a
test version of some underlying functions so that we know what interfaces that
will exist in a given test. Clearly doable, but slightly more work than "just"
writing up a test case using the existing infrastructure.

I think the change looks "harmless" enough to get merged now and we can work
on adding tests later on. I've now pushed it. Thanks!
