That makes sense.  I had some other discussions about this and it was my
confusion that this was only for a test case not knowing that this ALSO added
new functionality.

I'm +1 for the code for the 3.4 as mentioned in comments 31 and 32.

My question dealt with why we need configuration options for a test case.  Then
I realized it deals with the test and adds new functionality hence the new
options.  You can safely ignore.
