Actually I already did that in one place:
test_expect_success 'pretend we have a fully passing test suite' "
run_sub_test_lib_test full-pass '3 passing tests' <<-\\EOF &&
for i in 1 2 3; do
test_expect_success \"passing test #\$i\" 'true'
done
test_done
EOF
[...]
"
Without the \\ preceeding the EOF, it needed to be:
test_expect_success \"passing test #\\\$i\" 'true'

Yeah, the for loop is perhaps slightly overkill :-)

Thanks for your (unnervingly) thorough reviews ;-)
