Seems doable to me, but up to you. It's the only option to make the
core file itself recognizable. Your other option is to run each test
in a separate unit, maybe using a template, and then you'd have the
unit name to tell you what is what. The information wouldn't be in the
core file of course, but it would be in the journal entry associated
with it.
