The multi versions hook two functions and the !multi hook just one but
I agree that this granularity in coverage is probably just a
maintenance burden and doesn't help with much! :)
I'll delete the !multi in v2, as part of the patch 2 and patch 1 will
just migrate the selftest to use the multi API.
