I think it would accurate to say that the idea this patch implements was born out of use case I have for C++ defect report test suite. As I see it, restructuring that test suite as actual Python files will introduce more noise to the tests than other options. We would also lose C++ syntax highlighting, which would make tests even less readable in majority of contexts.
