I've started to agree with Dmitry. Why do something that computer can do -- to guide test writers to give args in consistent order and provide suitable filenames. Secondly as the output files are provided for human consumption if there is consistent naming in expected output files helps developers getting parts of the big picture easier and finding right filenames easier. ... and the reviewers doesn't need to keep their plasma guns handly.
