Yes, that is a similar feature. As I just wrote to Bob, it doesn't 
really work
for "unit tests" for functions or classes in code, where one would want 
to write
multiple tests in a single test binary. Encoding the information in the 
TAP message
itself allows for this, and centralizes the expectation in the testing 
code itself
rather than in the surrounding runner or harness.
