[Omake] Clutter in the tests

Currently we get errors in the tests, like

     *** SOME TESTS FAILED! See test/object/result.log for detail

I think there are no "real" errors in 0.9.8.x -- they are really RFEs.

    parse/C/Test: the C parser is fixed in the jumbo/parse branch
    object/Test14,15: feature request for partial application
    simple/Test8: feature request, should use 0-arity functions
       (ValBody is not a closure)
    targets/Test3: undecided whether this behavior is acceptable.

I don't have a problem with tests for feature requests.  But they  
"pollute" the test output, making it more likely that regressions are  
missed.  We need a way, perhaps "omake regression" that would tell us  
only about errors.

For that matter, it would be nice to remove the -/+ lines too, to  
reduce the clutter even more.
