I'm still really missing the (s+f > 0) test I added which was a time saver
for me, because I could trivially check in the output reports which ones
were totally OK and which ones required attention. Sure I could also start
to grep for "passed," | grep -v " 0 skipped, 0 failed" but that's quite a
pain, really.

I'm going to merge your series anyway otherwise we'll continue to bikeshed
for many weeks and I know how annoying it is to keep unmerged series. But
I would like that we find a solution that satisfies everyone.

Maybe one possibility would be to add a "status" at the end of the line
that emits "success", "warning", "failure" depending on the highest level
reached like this:

      138 test(s) passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed => status: success
      136 test(s) passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning
      136 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 1 failed => status: failure

This way it's easy to grep -v "status: success" or grep "status: failure"
to instantly get the corresponding details and also grep for them from
multiple files.

Thanks!
Willy
