Well, the point was that it can be used for testing. I haven't said it

This is good news :) . Your words in the previous posting sounded so
stark and express that I wanted to eliminate the possibilities that: 1)
there is something fundamentally bad in that idea; 2) the code would
definitely have to be maintained separately.
