I don't like these expect/actual here. They are almost entirely
identical, which means that the reader either A) spends a toilsome few
minutes checking every single line to be sure they are not identical, or
B) reads the first three lines, decides they're the same, and misses the
@->HEAD special case.

Why not instead run the test once for all the lines which should be the
same before and after the parse, and again for all the lines which
should differ, to reduce burden on the reader?
