What I understand from `t/README` the "check" value is used to test whether the presence or absence of `TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true` matches the expectations. I think it's better to express that in the first sentence, because it sounds a bit misleading at the moment if you don't know that. > Introduce a new value "check-failing".

I would also mention this still has the effect that tests which *are* leak-free but do not have `TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true` fail due to the use of "--invert-exit-code". Also, can you add a short paragraph about this value in "t/README"? -- Toon
