 Getting 95% coverage for stuff that relies on OS functionality might not
 be feasible, but it would be great to get this as high as possible.

 (Stubbing OS calls out is probably *not* the best answer here, even though
 you might think it would be. We're not only interested in whether our
 compatibility wrappers do the right thing when the OS behaves the way we
 expect: we're also interested in whether they do the right thing on the
 actual OS. )
