Yes, you’re right, but this patch series is not about rewriting the
integration tests.  :-)

The way I see it, we can choose and combine different strategies: Bash
tests (the good thing is that they’re as close as can be to what users
run), Scheme integration tests like you write when more fine-grain
control is needed, and of course unit tests.
