I think you'll find some of the complexity and ugliness creeping back in
once you support line-numbers, log files, writing the source expression
to the log file, etc.

Don't compare apples and oranges: A testing framework with a number
of useful bells and whistles, that has been used for a decade, and is based
on experience with past testing frameworks (such as DejaGnu) vs
a bare-bones prototype.  I have no interest in replacing the former
by the latter.  If you can duplicate the functionality of the
existing implementation on Kawa and Guile-2 (and still do a decent
job on modern vanilla Scheme implementations) then we can talk.
