I was inclined to agree with you when I first read your comment, but
then I thought about the case that someone wants to add in a debug
message (of which I currently have none). I think under most
circumstances a user of kunit_stream would likely want to pick a
default verbosity that maybe I should provide, but may still want
different verbosity levels.

The main reason I want to keep the types separate, string_stream vs.
kunit_stream, is that they are intended to be used differently.
string_stream is just a generic string builder. If you are using that,
you are expecting to see someone building the string at some point and
then doing something interesting with it. kunit_stream really tells
you specifically that KUnit is putting together a message to
communicate something to a user of KUnit. It is really used in a very
specific way, and I wouldn't want to generalize its usage beyond how
it is currently used. I think in order to preserve the author's
intention it adds clarity to keep the types separate regardless of how
similar they might be in reality.

Fair point. Will do.

Will do.

Oops, nice catch.

A `struct kunit_stream` is usually associated with a message that is
being built up over time like maybe an expectation; it is meant to
capture the idea that we might want to send some information out to
the user pertaining to some thing 'X', but we aren't sure that we
actually want to send it until 'X' is complete, but do to the nature
of 'X' it is easier to start constructing the message before 'X' is
complete.

Consider a complicated expectation, there might be multiple conditions
that satisfy it and multiple conditions which could make it fail. As
we start exploring the input to the expectation we gain information
that we might want to share back with the user if the expectation were
to fail and we might get that information before we are actually sure
that the expectation does indeed fail.

When we first step into the expectation we immediately know the
function name, file name, and line number where we are called and
would want to put that information into any message we would send to
the user about this expectation. Next, we might want to check a
property of the input, it may or may not be enough information on its
own for the expectation to fail, but we want to share the result of
the property check with the user regardless, BUT only if the
expectation as a whole fails.

Hence, we can have multiple `struct kunit_stream`s associated with a
`struct kunit` active at any given time.

Unfortunately that wouldn't work. See my above explanation.
