Description

An alternative way of running an mrunit test is to call run(), which returns the output list to you for manual validation, rather than runTest() which validates everything automatically.

If you run a test using the run() method, any counter tests you have specified via withCounter(..) etc are silently ignored, which may falsely give the impression that these tests have passed.

At the very least we should give a warning that this is happening. Otherwise, we should make sure the counter validation is triggered in all cases.
