We are going to do fixes and enhancements to YAML loading processes. Move
corresponding code to one place before that as the preparatory step.

Place new utility in new test/test.py file - with MultiRU that will be the
place for tests of generic mode and test.jinja2.py, which will be renamed to
test_ors.py, will be using utilities from there. So place the utility into new
place from the start.
