Right, but only one specific type of lit test  depends on pattern matching,
and those are the SHTest format tests.  You can make an arbitrary test
format, including one that builds programs, set breakpoints etc.  the
format and structure of an lldbinline test need not even change at all
(except that I think we could eliminate the .py file).  The lldbinline
tests are about as close to a drop in fit for lit as we can get, the only
thing that needs to happen is the code in lldbinline.py needs to move to
something called InlineTestFormat.py and then be hooked into lit
