Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi Bjarni,

I don't agree.  This is not a general-purpose program, but a unit test.  Such
things are seldom looked at unless there is trouble.  In such a scenario,
having literal content in the test case makes it quickly clear what is
expected.

In my opinion, the style is a time saver.

If someone else contributes test cases or cares to report on how they used
them to troubleshoot a problem, and can present a counterargument to the
current practice, I could reconsider.
