I am concerned with the legibility of the tests and when people may be 
reproducing parts of it by hand.  The "-var-create foo * foo" is better 
for that.

The other commands generate a very simple output that is easy to create 
an pattern for and it is also easier for human interpretation (same 
situation as above).

The "pattern" part is cool though.  Why don't you submit just that for 
now?
