New description:

 We used to have hooks in the library to allow the testsuite to make
 various cases in the inmemory backend fail to allow testing
 {{{Xapian::ErrorHandler}}}.

 We don't really want these hooks in release builds, so they were removed.
 But it's hard to test many cases without something like this.

 Probably leave until user database backends are possible, then we can take
 a "mock" approach to this problem by subclassing from an existing backend.
