A neophyte would have read the previous paragraph first. The previous
paragraph says specifically how to use test-wrapper for testing over SSH,
then the proposed new paragraph says "In general,", and goes on to discuss
how you might use a test-wrapper that isn't cross-test-ssh.sh and what the
requirements are if writing your own wrapper. I think the previous
paragraph gives the required orientation.
