Description
Is there any ability to inline the results of the output that you're testing? e.g. expect tests in this blogpost have the result of the tests saved directly in the file itself.
This may be more desirable to see what's happened directly, instead of having a layer of indirection whereby you have to locate the file when you're just scanning to see what those test functions output, or have to delete all the expected output files. AFAICT there's nothing in the document to permit this, am I missing something or might there be an extension to this that allows for that?

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the project documentation and the existing approval-output behavior, then compare it with the linked expect-test example. Done would require a decided, testable scope for inline results rather than file-based output.
