Mostly just so that the tests are easier to understand, but for these 
newly-added ones, I think they should be easy enough to understand no 
matter what. I'll try using Emacs.

My only concern there is making Emacs do something reasonable when 
piping data into it, but I can just try a few things out, and if it 
really doesn't work, the existing tests in my patch are hopefully still 
better than nothing.
