That may be so which is a bit pity, but well, something to live with,
I'd guess.

It sounds reasonable for testing purposes, so yes, such a patch would be
welcome. Though, for more complete support for other uses, it would be
useful to extend this to handle some sort of plugin interface (like TNC)
to actually allow real information to be provided dynamically. Anyway,
that can certainly be done as a separate step.
