Yeah, for the first one or two things just printing things out
directly is probably fine, and yes, I could have just snuck it in, but
at the time it wasn't a hindrance for me to ask what people wanted: I
had already worked around it.

In any case, I was just explaining part of why I did expectations and
assertion failures the way that I did.

Sorry, that wasn't clear. I meant: get a copy of the TAP spec itself
into the kernel documentation. KUnit already has an implementation.

I think that would be useful. I would do it, but, as I mentioned,
there are licensing issues with the TAP spec. I am trying to resolve
those issues, and am currently waiting to hear back from somebody from
TAP.
