There are workarounds for this, but I will intentionally not be describing them because this is definitely not something I can endorse in any way. Please don't use gosu in this way.

(This has come up enough times recently that I want to take a stronger stance on it and explicitly disavow/disallow it.)

Doh, I forgot this was how my test suite works (to ensure we have a large smattering of extra groups so we can test that they don't bleed through).
