Description
Hi,
It seems that the format of the mir-opt tests have recently changed. It'd be nice if this page could document the new format:
https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/tests/adding.html
In the meantime, could someone confirm that mir-opt tests can no longer use elisions (...)?
I maintain a fork of rustc and I have a load of tests which rely heavily on elision. It wouldn't be possible to do exact comparisons as mir-opt now (seems to?) require, so I need to figure out what to do with them :\
Thanks

Start with the rustc-dev-guide page at https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/tests/adding.html and investigate the current mir-opt test format. Confirm whether mir-opt tests still support elisions such as ..., then document the new format and the answer to that compatibility question on the page.
