My objective is that I can just type down a test, inheriting from
StandardTestCase.  The less I have to type, the better.  In this case it
spares me from having to keep _disable_config in mind.  And if I forget
to set _disable_config, the error might pass unnoticed at first, so it's
better if I don't have to.
