Yeah, I think test_injection_point should be reserved for testing the
injection point machinery.

Rather than defining a module somewhere that tests would need to load,
should we just put the common callbacks in the core server? Unless there's
a strong reason to define them elsewhere, that could be a nice way to save
a step in the tests.
