I think that the way full checks are implemented now is about[1] as
cheap as a plugin anyway (unless you need to extend a data structure),
so this same benefit could be had by writing the test locally and
submitting it for review if it proves useful.

Thanks

[1] With the exception that you need to know which file to
    modify...that is a one time learning cost.
