Digression: syntax highlighting the diffs helps immensely.

I'm very much looking forward to that branch being merged to the trunk.
Merged.
Yay! I'm already using it. :)
I have a feature suggestion: it would be nice to have a switch to say
"colorize output, unless stdout isn't a terminal", so piping the output
to a pager (or file) doesn't result in polluted output.
There's a little complication: when you have test layers that don't
support tearDown, some of the tests are run in a subprocess, where
stdout isn't a terminal (it's a pipe), but all the output will be copied
verbatim to the stdout of the parent process (which may or may not be a
terminal).
The test runner could look at the "top level" stdout and pass the
information to subprocesses.
It's not that hard to remove the -c flag when you're adding |less to the
command line. Or you could use |less -R and have colourful and
scrollable output.
It'd be nice to have a -C option that disables -c for when your test
runner has -c included in the default options (as I intend to do with mine).
