Yeah, I understand, and the _fail call I suggested is to exit the test
immediately with a proper error message when such an accident usage is
detected, while current code just prints a message and continues the
rest of the test, which is unnecessary.

I just want to see a more specific & clearer error message on such a
usage failure, so people know what to do to correct this error. Similar
to what we do in common/rc::_require_command (_fail "usage:
_require_command <command> [<name>]").
