I think that's a nice idea.

Note that the format for expectations and results is identical.

So, one way to implement the storage side of this would be to use a
special result annotation, which would never be generated by running a
test, of course.

You'd need to enhance the GUI to show that information, of course.

We'll not implement this ourselves, but if there were a patch to do it,
I'd happily review it.
