// There are three challenges associated with checking the stack traces included
// in errors:
// 1) The base checkout directory of tape might change. Because stack traces
//    include absolute paths, the stack traces will change depending on the
//    checkout path. We handle this by replacing the base test directory with a
//    placeholder $TEST variable and the package root with a placehodler
//    $TAPE variable.
// 2) Line positions within the file might change. We handle this by replacing
//    line and column markers with placeholder $LINE and $COL "variables"
//   a) node 0.8 does not provide nested eval line numbers, so we remove them
// 3) Stacks themselves change frequently with refactoring. We've even run into
//    issues with node library refactorings "breaking" stack traces. Most of
//    these changes are irrelevant to the tests themselves. To counter this, we
//    strip out all stack frames that aren't directly under our test directory,
//    and replace them with placeholders.
