If you want to be able to safely multiplex TAP from multiple sources
on a single stream the safest way is to tag each line with its source:
source1: 1..5
source1: ok 1
source2: 1..10
source1: ok 2
source2: ok 1
etc. You can demux it by applying the obvious s/^\w+:// transformation.
Even if we made it possible to associate a chunk of YAML with a
previous test who's to say that the whole YAML document was output
atomically? Maybe that got mixed up with YAML from another source?
There's a lot of wisdom in Ghostbusters of which this is just one
example.
