Hi Marc,

I believe banch bug-9ba9729ef1 is now complete and in order.
Github CI is now happy on macOS too.

I'd like to merge this into trunk (and from there into the branch
simplify_test_file_init_for_singleproc_1, to be able to continue there).

Do you care to review there?

If so, here are the handy links:

Resulting changes in that branch w.r.t. trunk:

Please let me know,
Erik.
