So in the context of #7671 and testing, can the tests for multiTrust()
just check that they get an IOpenSSLTrustRoot implementation back or do
... something else? That is, currently I'm just confirming this via
asserting IOpenSSLTrustRoot.providedBy(theReturnValue) or so in the
tests. Of course, this means I'm importing the private interface into
the tests...

Thanks! and merry christmas,
