Thanks for the info.

However do you mean you'd like the test code itself to change the

Yes, that's what I eventually figured out (in the gist link).

It's less simple than I thought at first, but simpler than I thought at
second.
The asynchronicity makes things a little harder to deal with (you
essentially
need to use the logger for all the messages you want to output, otherwise
it can become gibberish), but is also a nice feature to let the main
program
run smoothly.

Their parameterizability is also very nice, as it allows to completely shut
up
one thread while letting the other shout, even though they use the same
procedures.

I'm glad I took the step from `displayln' ;)
