If so then this won't work for the regression tests. Having the diff comparison fail every time someone makes an unrelated change to a source file isn't what we want.

Speaking as someone who's wished for the feature that Pavel's patch provides
many times in the past - shouldn't there also be a field containing the
offending value? If we had that, it'd finally be possible to translate
constraint-related error messages to informative messages for the user.
