Split off from #101 and would likely need it to be implemented first, to be of real use.

It would be really cool, to have some custom format for the stdin/stdout content, that allows for similar patterns as in pecpect (or rather the rexpect/expectrl crates). This would allow to easily test interactive programs.

What quickly comes to mind would be something like:

> What is your name?
< Bob
> Alive? [Yn]
< y
...

Where > defines some stdout from the program that is checked against, as either plain text or maybe regex.
And < would describe the input to be passed to the program if the previous check succeeded. Maybe would need some nice helpers to send arrow up/down, return and other special keys and control sequences.
