In your example `lldb-mi-demo.input` is static text, right? No command depends
on the result of any previous commands. That's what I mean by "up-front".
The opposite of that would be if you used the output of one command to
construct the next one. Something like:
result = execute("first command")
value = extract_something_interesting(result)
result2 = execute(create_second_command(value))
My point is that lit+FileCheck is good if all your tests look like your
example, but it's not if you need to do something like the above. I haven't
looked at lldb-mi in much detail, so I can't which of these two options is
correct, although it seems that at least the majority of the tests could be
written that way.
