I think it'd be pretty hard to get someone to go through and create tests
for every issue ever seen. Even Chromium has trouble with this, but making
it part of the culture helps. I.e. reviewers should ask for every change to
include a test. I'm happy to add one to fate for this change. Or can do so
in a followup patch if you prefer.

Does anyone have comments on this change specifically? We've already rolled
this into Chrome and it's working fine and passing all regression tests.
