Doesn't
test_expect_code 1 'phoney' '
foo && bar && (exit 1)
'
incorrectly succeed if "foo" or "bar" happened to fail with exit status 1?

I like it. It should have been done the way you suggest from the
beginning. It is unfortunate that we didn't think of wrappers like
test_must_fail and friends when we originally did test_expect_code, but it
is never too late to correct that mistake.
