I feel like this patch series is big enough on its own already, so for
now I'd like to refrain from touching up the old tests. But you've got a
good point here, and I'll make sure that any new tests don't followw the
same pattern.

That being said, I think we should keep on testing both stdout and
stderr. The tests here are explicitly about the output format, so it
does make sense to verify that both of them match what we expect. We
should treat them as separate things though.
