Hi Philip,

Thank you for taking a look at this!

I've integrated most of the changes but the ones below:

Sure, not a problem. But wouldn't the test implementation on this
level be just a replication of the already existing ert-deftest macro?
And ert-deftest, btw, does use half of cl-lib. Removing cl-incf just
stops making sense.

Admittedly, I don't have a bigger picture on Emacs Lisp idioms and
good practices so I'll just do whatever is suggested.

Well, I am on the fence about this one. My line of thought was that
submitting invalid test cases is very much a user error, isn't it?

I like the trick. But on empty lines this would return t instead of
only reporting comment lines.
