I can do it, but it's gonna be more pain in setting up those TEST_INCLUDES. People will forget. It will be a nuisance. I'm thinking of just moving it to net/lib.sh, from forwarding.
what about separate file, but included from net/lib.sh?
Unfortunately that would be even worse. Then you need to remember to put the file into TEST_INCLUDES despite seemingly not using it.
Like ideally we'd have automation for this. But I don't know how to do that without actually parsing the bash files, and that's just asking for trouble. Maybe after the defer stuff we also need a module system :-/
FWIW we could throw it into net/lib, which has a fake target, see:

Oh, I see net/lib is the default dependency of everything net. This could work. I'll check it out.
