*Ideally*, no one should.  Every test that works for maint should also
work for master without modifications (unless, of course, it tests an
automake behaviour that has been modified in master).

That was my intention, yes.  But if you want to clean up all the
existing 'set -e' fallouts, that would be nice and well-received
(and in fact, "git grep '^set -e$' master:tests" shows there is
a fair numer of such fallouts already).  Otherwise, I can still
do that (at a later time).
