Good point. How about, if an .rc file is used, the output of runtests is something like: shared_cp $ runtests -lrq Using .rc file: /home/ovid/.runtestsrc t/cp_demo_lib.....................ok t/cp_lib..........................ok t/db_connection...................ok t/dh_password.....................ok t/dh_server.......................ok ... If color output is supported, then we go ahead and make that bold and in a different color. We get the convenience of customizing our test behavior but the safety of always being warned about it.
