That's getting closer and closer to what I recommended as a redesign for
the whole test-API. Class would be better, tests shouldn't need to
import the mod every time, there should be checking etc. However I feel
the need to make this stable asap and after some release, we can go
ahead with some major redesigns (or at least that's how I understood our
talk about this with Dave few weeks ago).
