Agreed, but it would make reorganizing stuff to be more robust more
realistic. At the moment for everything you change you have to hand-test
everyting possibly affected which takes ages.

I think we also needs support for testing xid/multixid wraparound. It
currently isn't realistically testable because of the timeframes
involved.
