This looks good to me! A couple of minor thoughts about the output
format below, but I'm quite happy to have this as-is regardless.

Would it make sense to have this imitate the TAP format a bit more?
So, have "# [ok|not ok] - [name]" as the format? [name] could be
something like "[test_case->name]:param-[index]" or similar.
If we keep it commented out and don't indent it further, it won't
formally be a nested test (though if we wanted to support those later,
it'd be easy to add), but I think it would be nicer to be consistent
here.

My other suggestion -- albeit one outside the scope of this initial
version -- would be to allow the "param-%d" name to be overridden
somehow by a test. For example, the ext4 inode test has names for all
its test cases: it'd be nice to be able to display those instead (even
if they're not formatted as identifiers as-is).
