Yes, like this. And in the lambda function, you could check the expected
arguments of the "/usr/bin/security" call by `should' and friends.

Would you like to add such test(s)? This would give us more confidence
that nothing is or will be broken, because people using macOS would test
this by default when running "make check", even if they don't care the
macOS keychain.
