Looking at these changes, I'm not 100% convinced this is an improvement
in readability or experience. Right now, I can look at the test case
definition and get a reasonable idea of what its doing. After the
change, I have to read two files at once, side by side in order to have
a clue what the test does. Is that an improvement?

I'm open to persuasion on why this patchset is a good idea but the
pieces I looked at didn't seem to help much :/

Cheers,

Richard
