From a parser standpoint, there's no clean way of distinguishing that
from what the test functions are going to output.  As a result, I
really think that "diag" and normal test failure information should be
marked differently (instead of the /^# / that we see).

I've thought in the past about about using /^## / for non-test related diagnostics

## Start the fribble tests
ok 1 - fribble foo
not ok 2 - fribble bar
#   Failed test 'fribble bar'
#   in untitled text 2 at line 5.
#          got: 'baz'
#     expected: 'bar'
## Start the blart tests
# ok 1 - blart foo
... etc ...

Reads reasonably to me and has the advantage of being backward compatible.
