Done.  dbus-test07-introspection now has a test that no timeout
occurred.  It is no longer tagged :expensive-test.

A new dbus-test07-timeout tests both implicit (dbus-introspect-*) and
explicit (dbus-call-method) timeouts.  It is tagged :expensive-test.

Impressive.  This is a great source of proper signature syntax.  Not to
mention a most useful debugging tool.  Nice.

Timestamps (perhaps optional) would be useful, I think.

Cheers,
