It doesn't really hurt, though.

True.

Would that be better than simply separate executables which produce the
same output format?  The summary would need to be moved out of test_driver.

True, just the same format would work. (Could even share just the output function, but probably not necessary.) So baaically we could just move the tests from examples/ into tests/ and add them to "make run_tests".
