Yeah, I think this is simpler and more to the point for the test in
t9902. If we really want to test something that is the same as, or
at least any closer than this approach (or my "help --standard"), to
what the real users use, the test has to become inherently flaky, so
I think we should go for the simplicity of this patch shows.
