Good to have this note here.

Again, I do not think this sends output to the standard output at
the end of this test piece.

I do not think this patch is needed (I'd rather see people learn the
trick of running with "-i" and rely on the fact that the trash
directory is left intact to be inspected), but if you must, it may
make more sense to add test_must_contain to make a failed 'grep
"$@"' easier to see, similar to the way that test_must_be_empty
helps a failing 'test !  -s "$1"', something along the lines of ...

	test_must_contain () {
		if ! grep "$@"
		then
			echo "'grep $*' fails; the file contains"
			while test $# != 1
			do
				shift
			done
                        cat "$1"
			return 1
		fi
	}

Thanks.
