I was thinking of a test of the test-suite running in this mode, but I
didn't quite feel comfortable, since it feels a bit slow sometimes
already.

So an instruction to run 'make test', which would include a 'make test
OPTIONS=3D"--root=3D/dev/shm/notmuch_test.$$"' or some such if that was
acceptable.

I didn't think about it very hard, but I was intrigued by the idea.
