Awful---when the symbolic constants change in the code, the test
will silently break?
It has been this way since 80f2a609 (t/helper: add test-ref-store to
test ref-store functions, 2017-03-26), so it is nothing new, but at
some point, we should do a better job. Even if it is used only as a
tool for testing, we shouldn't have to force developers to write in
assembly ;-)
Perhaps when the dust settles after this series graduates to be a
part of released version. It may be a good bite-sized microproject
material for aspiring new developers.
