I'm all for code that makes reading the regression output easier.

Other possible ideas:
1. Supress non-pass/fail information so the relevant lines don't scroll right 
off the screen, forcing a rerun to get a summary (may already be possible?)
2. Sort passes and fails so fails are last and grouped together.
3. It's nice to see things pass/fail as they finish, so maybe let them finish 
normally while collecting results. Then sort them into passes and fails, and 
print a summary with passes in one group, fails in another, and maybe even a 
count of each. Then you can see if your super fast test failed right away 
without waiting for the slow one, and after all the regressions run all night, 
you don't have to run them again to actually see what happened. And failures 
won't be lost in the crowd.
4. Send the summary/sorted list in the emails. We've had failures we didn't see 
for a while because they were surrounded by a bunch of passes.
