Ah, yes. I thought your first comment was suggesting I change it from
printing all KASAN tests by default because the intended behavior of
KASAN is to only print the first report. I think I'll pose the
question back to you. Do we want kasan_multi_shot for non-KASAN tests?
For functionality sake, it is only required for the KASAN tests so
this is more of a judgement call for the user experience.
