At least the module approach will tickle that code path, at least for -current GENERIC.  Especially around object lifecycle, there are cases in the code where the API might work fine, but invariants are violated leading to "weird" behavior later, so I want those invariants to be checked in the normal course of testing.

Oops, my mistake, it is apparently build with -DDIAGNOSTIC ... so, ok, I'll do a rump-based unit test.
