Why would it have to be removed - seems to be fairly independent, leaving the
line conflicts aside? Or do you just mean folding it into one-big-test? If so,
that'd make sense, although I'm not sure how ready the infrastructure

FWIW, if I would have to maintain these, I'd probably change FEATURE_TESTS,
FEATURE_DISPLAY into one-item-per-line to make conflicts less common and
easier to resolve.

I briefly scanned it, and the only real comment I have mirror's Quentin's,
namely that it'd be nice to avoid displaying more tests that don't tell the
user much.
