I'm totally unexcited by this. Almost every script in our standard
regression suite is somewhat context-dependent, eg many of them depend
on tables or other objects created by previous scripts. Trying to make
them be robust when run standalone would be a huge and ultimately pretty
pointless exercise.
In the case of the tablespace script, it evidently has some dependency on
being run in a fresh database, but so what? It always will be, when used
as directed. (I do not recall the reason why we run it first, but
I remember that there was some good reason, possibly to do with crash
recovery.)
