A powerful feature of the RUN: lines is that it allows any arbitrary commands + to be executed as part of the test harness. While standard (portable) unix + tools like 'grep' work fine on run lines, as you see above, there are a lot + of caveats due to interaction with Tcl syntax, and we want to make that the + run lines are portable to a wide range of systems. Another major problem is + that grep is not very good at checking to verify that the output of a tools + contains a series of different output in a specific order. The FileCheck + tool was designed to help with these problems.
