I should clarify. I wrote this patch as preparation to add some new
tests to the same script. The new tests are not cooked yet, so I just
sent the trivial part; there certainly is no urgent reason to apply it
soon (though no reason I see not to apply it either).
A better explanation for the rationale would be "follow the modern
style to make the script more readable and set a good example for
future tests".

Yes[1] and yes[2].
Thanks for looking it over.
