That is how I read the intent of what test-lib.sh does. I do not
think it has much to do with official-ness, but more about where you
find pieces of the framework from (e.g. diff-lib.sh, lib-gpg.sh,
etc.)

I do not think so; the biggest problem I see is that nobody
documented these variables like Thomas did in the previous message
we saw in this thread (and Thomas knew more about them than all
because he added t/perf/ recently and had to play with these
variables).

Once the roles of variables are well understood, I do not think it
is worth renaming the existing uses.
