At the time I wrote it, I hadn't decided. But now I've looked into it a
little, and concluded that in the next couple of months I can't spend
the time it would take to figure it out myself. So, if it's pretty easy
for you, then please show me the way; otherwise, I can either
 - postpone further "lingo" work (probably not possible), or
 - accept the slowness, or
 - spend time factoring this into a one-product-at-a-time function,
   so that it can run as a set of processes rather than threads:
     lmi_cli_shared --test_one_product=sample
     lmi_cli_shared --test_one_product=sample2naic
     ...
     lmi_cli_shared --test_one_product=another_product
   and then run those processes in parallel, e.g. via 'make'.
which in practice means I'd accept the slowness.
