Comment:

 You'll have to update the expected output for some tests as well, see
 [wiki:Building/RunningTests].

 Also have a look at #7396, where the current error message was decided:

 > Of course, these are only heuristics so there will be false-positive and
 false-negative cases. But I think these heuristics will help more than
 they will hurt.
