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. regards, tom lane
