You mean, from another testcase? The test description is the combination
of the testcase name (.exp file) and test name (in our case, the command).
I think I double-checked in this specific testcase that the command was
used only once, so the uniqueness should be guaranteed.

Just a thought, because I haven't really looked at what the "four
different styles" are, but I agree with Pedro when he says that
we should have separate patches for each step. If the homogenization
is not a mechanical step, perhaps it would be a good candidate for
a followup test?
