Yes, you are right.  They are more important in the main summary, as
they are a property of the tests, not the individual reports.  Still,
I'd keep them everywhere, just for the shake of consistency.  But if
they clutter the screen too much, let them go.  One more thing to vote
on.

I'm not sure this would warrant adding these otherwise uninteresting
lines.  One can't easily see the dissected results this way, but todos
aren't really represented in the output anyway.
