Yes, that is a similar feature. As I just wrote to Bob, it doesn't really work for "unit tests" for functions or classes in code, where one would want to write multiple tests in a single test binary. Encoding the information in the TAP message itself allows for this, and centralizes the expectation in the testing code itself
rather than in the surrounding runner or harness.
