Agreed, there's a lot of room to play around with the main output.
The hope here is this is enough to tide us over (usability-wise) until
we get around to that.

E.g. in the future, it might make sense to only print suite names by default.
If subtests (test cases and individual parameters) fail, we could
print those in expanded detail.
But there's obviously tradeoffs:
* the real time output is nice, esp. since some test cases are slower
than others
* I think most people are only running 1-2 suites at a time right now

Another thing we could do is optionally use \r to use only the last
few lines for in-progress output?
E.g.

t=1
Running suite: example
[PASSED] example_simple_test

t=2, use \r to update the test case line
Running suite: example
[SKIPPED] example_skip_test

Then we could print out the results of interest in more detail at the end.
