Why the reduction here? int is signed too?

Instead of creating an overloaded mechanism here, perhaps have an
option reporting mechanism that can be enabled. Like adding to
__test_metadata "bool no_stream; int test_number;" and adding
test_number++ to each ASSERT/EXCEPT call, and doing something like:

if (t->no_stream) {
                              fprintf(TH_LOG_STREAM,
                                      "%s: Failed at step #%d\n",
                                      t->name,
                                       t->test_number);
}

It'd be a cleaner approach, maybe?
