The Git folks have a test suite that print TAP-formatted output [1]:

   1..4
   ok 1 - Input file opened
   not ok 2 - First line of the input valid
   ok 3 - Read the rest of the file
   not ok 4 - Summarized correctly # TODO Not written yet

If people want to change the test result format, you might as well use
a pre-existing specification ;).
