Ok.

Indeed, consistency is important.
On my side, I don't have a strong opinion regarding the COMPILE_TEST thing.
IMHO, it is more a subsystem's maintainer choice.

So, if as a maintainer you don't use it and prefer not supporting it,
I'm fine to provide you a new version without COMPILE_TEST.
Doing that, the interactive selection will disappear too.

I can provide you a new version this evenning.

Best regards,
Maxime
