Thanks for the report.  I agree.  The test is pretty thin stuff.  I
think I originally wrote it (back in 2021) only to make sure I didn't
corrupt the state of the interpreter.  Nowadays I understand the
formatter's internals a bit better, but I also hope to turn `soquiet`
into a macro, so I didn't expend any effort making the test more
sensitive.

On the same today I introduced the error you found, I added a new test
script that _is_ more sensitive, so improving the one above would be
redundant.

Excellent news!  Thanks!
