"Most tests do not care" only indicates the lack of test coverage.
Knowing the implementation, it probably is OK to assume that things
would work fine as long as "--file <file>" works correctly, though
;-)
Not having to keep the minimum parts of the real configuration file,
and being able to use a throw-away file for each test, certainly
makes things cleaner.

Yup.
