We did not do it by design. There are tests (less every day) that are
still dependent on the system php.ini, but they should be fixed
instead (splited if necessary).
The concept of unit tests is not to write generic tests but to test
each single unique cases we can figure out, different ini settings are
different cases. It also makes testing and debugging much easier, and
it helps to actually analyze feedbacks as well without having to ask
ten times if there are no system php.ini being loaded.
Cheers,
