It has one catch though that I've figured out now.
qemuMonitorTestAddItemVerbatim actually does not support schema checking
yet. I've implemented only a limited subset of the internals to support
it.

Probably the best course of actions for this test will be to swithch it
to qemuMonitorTestAddItem which does schema checking.

In this case I feel it's more useful to do the check against the schema
rather than to see that the resposne is the same.

Alternatively I can see whether it's reasonably feasible to do schema
checking also in qemuMonitorTestAddItemVerbatim.

Well, it still validates only the one given syntax at this point,
because there's no sane way to compare everything what libvirt is able
to generate.

The huge advantage of this is that I don't actually have to check for
typos and other things manually against qemu's schema :)
