As a follow up:

I note that .prove does not save the number of tests per test file, nor
the pass/fail.  As a result, I can't dump out the total number of tests
run.  It would be nice if we had a full-fledged API here.  That way,
you can commit your .prove to source control and have a nice history.

Cheers,
Ovid
