Yep, we can make it a third one, fine with me.
But it likewise wouldn't end up in docs/ then.
Let's please focus on the schema itself for now, with the stupid little
test command included. Once the schema enjoys universal popularity, I'll
be glad to pass it on to QMP wizards -- because, if we ultimately wanted
to keep the schema code-enabled, then Markus's earlier suggestions apply
too, regarding QMP test cases. I'll admit I haven't dared look at those
yet (in particular because Paolo originally suggested to move this under
docs/interop). Looking at my todo list, I'd really like to focus on the
schema itself.
Thanks
