Merged.

There's a little complication: when you have test layers that don't
support tearDown, some of the tests are run in a subprocess, where
stdout isn't a terminal (it's a pipe), but all the output will be copied
verbatim to the stdout of the parent process (which may or may not be a
terminal).

It's not that hard to remove the -c flag when you're adding |less to the
command line.  Or you could use |less -R and have colourful and
scrollable output.
