Description
I was playing around with writing a wasm-based language and was trying to use the core tests to validate my code. While doing development I found the error messages hard to work with, so I opened #1103. However, I don't have to time to shepherd the CL as real life has come up so I'm closing it in favor of this issue.

Research direction
Start by examining the core tests and the test runner, then review the context from issue #1103. Clarify which runner errors are hardest to use when validating a wasm-based language and define clearer output for those cases; done means the relevant core-test failures are easier to understand.
