There's something wrong when a testing framework hacks into a language parser to make the language statement labels have special meanings like function names do, and overload the `|` operator in expressions so data will appear as a table in the source code. "Lovely" isn't the word for that sort of thing.

It's a DSL. And it works very well also because of these operator overloads.
