I think I'd prefer just making test scripts like Perl's... They're
a good example of how to make tests simple using character streams.
Each test prints out lines of the form
13
ok 5
not ok 6
where the first number is the number of test cases to expect, then the
next numbers are in a sequence. All other output is ignored (can be used
for debugging).
