 > > Thanks! The new tests look reasonable. I wonder if it's necessary to
 make all those multi-statement macro definitions, instead of helper
 functions (and maybe much smaller macros that call those functions)? I
 think helper function would be a little cleaner. Please let me know what
 you think.

 test macros. I suggest that we merge this code as-is, because it's
 functional, adds coverage, and makes sure we won't introduce future bugs.
 Then we can open a ticket for follow-up.
 I see. I agree we should open a new ticket to follow up, in that case.

 I think I see that the problem is buried in the `TT_DECLARE()` macro in
 `tinytest_macros.h`. I think it's possible to work around it, but it might
 be nontrivial. (Rough sketch: redefine `TT_DECLARE()` in helper functions
 to read file and line info from function parameters, and make file and
 line numbers explicit parameters to helper functions.)
