Description
**Description**
It is really easy to read the code with sections inside test cases.
I wish the same could be done for the console output.
**Additional context**
Current output
```
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST 1
SECTION 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some/test/some/file:some_line
...............................................................................
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE( ...)
with expansion:
!false
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE(... )
with expansion:
!false
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST 1
SECTION 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some/test/some/file:some_line
...............................................................................
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE( ...)
with expansion:
!false
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE(... )
with expansion:
!false
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
```
I suggest
```
===============================================================================
TEST 1
SECTION 1: some/test/some/file:some_line
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE( ...)
with expansion:
!false
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE(... )
with expansion:
!false
SECTION 2: some/test/some/file:some_line
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE( ...)
with expansion:
!false
some/test/some/file:some_line: PASSED:
REQUIRE_FALSE(... )
with expansion:
!false
===============================================================================
```
This would make it so much easier to read.
