+I just added a very long multi-line test to the test suite.\r
+\r
+So I took the opportunity to fix it to output the failures with diff. It\r
+also saves both the complete expected and actual output (for any failed\r
+tests) to files of the form test-XXX.expected and test-XXX.output.\r
+\r
+Enjoy!\r
