This is an example of a testing anti-pattern which I've seen a lot: this
test is actually testing two completely independent cases, one with a
BlockManager-based block handler and another with a WAL-based handler. As a
result, this deserves to be _two_ `test` cases so that they can fail
independently. As things stand now, a bug could introduce a change which causes
only the BlockManager case to fail and that would cause the second test to be
skipped rather than run.
The fact that this test is four lines and half of the lines are comments
explaining the two cases is another hint that this should be two separate
tests, since then the name in `test()` could explain the cases.
