We generally prefer "cmp" checks to "grep" checks, because they are more
rigorous. However, when testing human-readable output which may change,
sometimes being too specific can simply make the tests brittle and
annoying. Using a forgiving regex that matches keywords can be helpful.
So there's definitely some room for judgement.

I think what you posted as v2 looks OK.

Yeah, I don't think it's worth the effort.

If you feel like continuing on this series, converting the warning()
into a die() would be a much more productive use of time (but if you
don't, I do not see any reason not to take the patches you've posted).
