I object very very strongly to this proposed test method. It
completely undoes the work I did in v15 (cc50080a8 and related)
to make the core regression test scripts mostly independent of each
other. Even without considering the use-case of running a subset of
the tests, the new test's expected output will constantly be needing
updates as side effects of unrelated changes.
