A recent merge to master libs/timer includes support for inspect in the
test suite, but the invocation requires support for a search-root
argument in inspect.  That support is not present in tools/inspect's
master branch, causing the libs/timer tests to fail.

The following process could help detect inter-module dependencies like
this:

* Initiate your workspace with the superproject checked out on branch
  master and all modules on the resulting commit (ignore branches).

* Checkout the develop branch only for the module(s) you're working on.

* Use "git submodule summary" at the superproject level to determine how
  your workspace differs from what would be expected in the master
  branch.  If multiple modules show changes, there's a risk of coupling,
  and it might not be appropriate to push any of them to their
  master branch.

* Use "git submodule update" to reset things when switching development
  between modules.
