I added TestAccess to 1.1-SNAPSHOT last night.
It's possible to write something in 1.0, but it's a lot harder... basically,
you have to write a Snippet and do a custom LocParam.
Most of us are on 1.1-SNAPSHOT and the sites I deploy are on 1.1-SNAPSHOT
and there hasn't been an instability due to working on trunk-head that I've
seen.
