This last sentence is inaccurate in this version, isn't it?
Other than that, I think this is a good change (I admit I never noticed
the irrelevant output because it is only shown with "-v", and that is
already full of irrelevant bits. But I have trouble imagining how it
would be useful).
Earlier discussion mentioned shortening the "ok 2 # skip" line, but I
think removing this fd-3 version is the only sane direction. The other
one gets parsed by TAP tools like prove, and may be shown. E.g., "prove
--directive t0003-attributes.sh" shows the description of the skipped
tests (likewise, "-v" shows all tests but highlights the skipped ones).
