Subject: Test::Unit output

I was curious if there are other test modes on test::unit which are more 
descriptive of the progress through each file of testing.  I think this 
would be particularly useful for running test cases like those in the 
ruby interpreter.  If the interpreter segfaults in the middle of running 
tests, and all you have are a bunch of .'s and E's how are you supposed 
to tell what it failed on?  Also while the .'s are alright for a short 
set, it would seem as if some sort of progress description over each 
test file would be more descriptive of the progress while testing.

Has this been gone over before?  Any particular reason for the choice of 
the dotted output?
