Changing the subject slightly, is there any guidance on what people
should write in the name/comment/label?
I ask because several times I've been puzzled by a test failure
where the message printed is ambiguous. Compare these two:
not ok 42 - is red
not ok 42 - should be red
The first isn't clear whether "is red" is what's expected or what's
actually happened.
