According to the TAP draft standard, any line not beginning with
'ok', 'not ok', or '#' is a comment and must be ignored by a TAP
consumer.  They are considered comments, and the assumption is that
there can be many of them.

Since my more detailed output would all be considered ignorable
comments, I think it's OK.  It's there for human readers who want
more detail, but otherwise must have no impact on a compliant
consumer.
