Nicely put.  I often find it somewhat disturbing that what some of
the t/helper/ tests are trying to exercise is at too low a level
that the distance from the real-world observable effect is too many
hops detached.  For unit tests (of an API, for example), that is
exactly what we want.  For a test of an entire command, it feels
like scratching foot from outside while still wearing a shoe.
