Write an automated test (with ERT) that would be easy to read and modify
later.
I could, for example, compare against a string artificially constructed
with `ert-propertized-string', but it requires more effort, it's easy to
get wrong, and it would not express the intended feature.
To put it differently, the goal is to make the buffer look a certain way,
so I'd like to be able to check that it does look that way.
(For my current purpose, it would be fine if that render-to-string
function disregarded eyecandy text-properties, like `face', but in the
general case, being able to compare them, too, would be handy.)
