It's in my queue, from back when you complained about this for the Nth
time.

And, like before, I'll ask you for a proper *bug report* or a properly
researched *patch*, if you want this to become higher priority than
it is for me right now.  As it stands, I'll look at it only when I feel
I have the time to study all of the issues (runtest, expect, tcl, shell
quoting rules, etc.) myself, and that does *not* seem like low-hanging
fruit to me.

Of course, I welcome anyone who *already* understands those things
stepping in and saying "here's the *right* way to do stuff like this",
but that hasn't happened yet, AFAIK.
