Well, these functions are experimental. An application crashing is not a 
disaster at all. It should not destroy any of your data, or at least nothing 
that can't be easily restored. Normally, I would have developed this extension 
in a branch, but I asked a few developers to try this out. I will hide these 
tests better the next time around.
