Hi Eli,

I like this approach.  It is the closest one to the actual use of FileCheck.

While LLVM and Clang tests do use FileCheck, all those inputs are
correct. It is important to ensure that erroneous CHECK: lines and
other syntax errors are also caught -- and we can do that with tests
for FileCheck itself.
