There is already test_i18n_grep. Should it be folded into this function?
Wouldn't we also want to have a function test_must_not_contain?
IMHO, we should not increase the number of functions that give a bonus
only when there is a test case failure. They do not scale well: There is
a permanent mental burden on every reviewer to watch out that they are
used in new tests. But without those functions, the burden is on the one
person investigating a test case failure, who has to live without the
debugging support.
