But I think it should stick around since it currently exists, and it makes
some kinds of bugs much easier to track down.
I'm also using it for `--gdb` since it makes the tracebacks simpler,
though I'm not sure that's necessary.
Do you ever use `sage -t` with valgrind? I'm not sure exactly what's
wrong with `sage -t --valgrind <FILENAME>`.
