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.
