I don't think I've ever wanted to do that myself, but I can see how it
might be useful (e.g., claiming we don't support symlinks is another
one).

I usually just try to recreate the actual environment (e.g., run the
tests as root, run them on a loopback case-insensitive fs, etc) as that
gives a more realistic recreation.
