It might not be good (too long) to use tst_lib_ in the function names,
which not easy to distinguish from tst_.

To combine with ltpx_ suggestion, I guess we could use:

tst_*: core test library
etst_*: non-core (extended) test library
otst_*: old test library

The reason I'm not using the word "ltp" is that it's too broad,
we're better off naming it around *tst*.
