Yeah, I suspected this while writing it the patch, but I preferred to keep it more obvious that there would be no accidental regression, since the series was already so long (and also because calling save_confirm is not any worse than test_when_finished).

I don't mind a patch on top simplifying out save_confirm, if you're confident that's what we're always saving.
