sorry to chime in late...

> t/bar.t      13      9  2, 6-8, 13, 17, 33-35  3-4
> t/foo.t      10     10  5, 19, 27, 37-38, 117  9-11

something that consistently gets on my nerves is something like this

Failed Test                       Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of
Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/Search/Script/Model/Collection/    5  1280     6    9 150.00%  2-6
t/Search/Script/Model/Collection/    7  1792     8   13 162.50%  2-8
t/Search/Script/Model/Collection/    5  1280     6    9 150.00%  2-6
t/Search/Script/Model/Collection/    7  1792     8   13 162.50%  2-8

for tests with really long names, or where the test path is long, tests
are truncated in such a way that the actual test name is hidden.
annoying but not a biggie when running a single test, but when a slurry
of tests from a large nightly run generate 10,000 lines of borked output
and looking at the summary hides the actual failed test names I get a
bit worked up.

so, it would be nice to make sure the test name is recognizable.  I
guess the options here are no truncation at all or (for those who think
lines over 72 characters are evil) at least starting from the right-hand
side of the test name.
