No, definitely not worth duplicating code. In fact, seeing as it's
just informational output, I'd be inclined to ignore it as it's
never going to cause the test to fail.

This is one of the reasons I tend not to like these "pretty output"
lines in the actual test output. If you need more verbose
information for debugging, that's what $seq.full is for....
