yes, I think that was my point. 'user' would be userspace tests, such as
those that excercise non-unit, multiple-API tests, or apache integration
tests, etc. you were asking for suggestions, and it's much more intuitive
to me than 'cooks' :)

I'll try to come up with something soonish.

yes, and the same was true in the mp1/PerlTransHandler case.

it looks like core_map_to_storage will be short-circuited in that case, but
with a different warning (unless the '' gets translated to NULL someplace).
nevertheless, that's a bit hackish. the new idiom is to use the
PerlTransHandler to translate the URI to a filename, and the
PerlMapToStorageHandler to map the filename to a physical file on disk. so,
in examples, tests, and whatnot I'd try to emphasize the difference and use
only the appropriate hook so it will help people learn. what we do in our
own code is another matter :)

yes, I think that's the right thing to do.

indeed. I was commenting in a 'knowledge for knowledge sake' sense, not
necessarily to say you didn't need the trans handler in your test.
however, in your new test...

this is not required since you
