As I mentioned on IRC, I don't think we should leak this sort of very
narrow-purpose developer feature into the wild.

For test suite purposes, we should probably be using a doctest. It's
well suited to testing things with simple inputs and outputs an no
stored state like this. Also, when it's appropriate, it's also an order
of magnitude or more faster per test-case.
