Ooh... I like this best. Let's go with that.

Since it seems the assert stuff isn't too difficult to make unmanaged,
can we go ahead and remove ->test?

If it turns out to be too nasty, let me know and we'll keep it (it's
not worth making major excavations), but I'd prefer to get rid of it
if we can.
