This is more-or-less exactly what is going on, except that
the "some-shell-script-test" includes (but is not exactly
limited to) some compile-and-link macros.  However, upon
reading the docs some more, they explicitly state to not do
this.  Is that overcaution in the docs?  Should one actually
do the following?
