No.

ok

The rest of this is just pretty verbose and seems to have been very
heavily copied and pasted.  I guess that's OK for test code, though.

I was tempted to play with macros, as templates to generate tests on the fly, according to the type being passed.

But I was afraid it might generate an even stronger rejection than the rest of the patchset already has.

Would it be acceptable/preferable?
