Thank you, I hadn’t noticed.

Sure. Have a look at the follow-up patch and let me know what you think.
It didn’t feel right copy-pasting the tests wholesale, so I made a
helper-macro. I checked the ert output by forcing a failure and the
failure explanation looks as expected. Does this work for you?

In the follow-up, I stuck with this primarily because of the
‘full-file-path’ test. I figure one could somehow mock a file-backed
buffer, but I expected that would be too involved just to have
everything inlined in the test. Let me know if you think differently
though.

Kind regards,
