Oops, this needs '&> /dev/null' at the end to suppress its result.

Ah, I see. This is important. And I would rather like to show
it on the description line of each test so that we can check
which test log is run in an instance. E.g. passing "(instance)"
message to run_test() and testcase() as the 2nd arg, and print
it in testlog and console?

Thank you,
