If that's the case, then putting a "fail: true" key (which defaults to
false if not present) within the vector object (not the individual
message object) seems reasonable to me. This could be helpful, for
example, if you're using vim to search through the file and want to
find which tests fail quickly. You can do a regex search for "fail",
but it wouldn't be so easy if you assume that "pattern: null" is a
failure.
