[tap] "ok 1 description" vs "ok 1 - description"

[Michael G Schwern <[e-mail]>]

According to the standard, it's supposed to be this:

ok 9 here is some descriptive text
ok 10 and some more stuff

But Test::More does this:

ok 9 - here is some descriptive text
ok 10 - and some more stuff

Why?  Because it's a whole lot easier to read.  Technically the description is
"- here is a some descriptive text".  I would like that to not be so while
still retraining the spacing.

So, in the interest of human readability, I propose a small change to the
grammar from:

Test-Result     = Status [SP Test-Number] [SP Description]
                   [SP "#" SP Directive [SP Reason]] EOL

to

Test-Result     = Status [SP Test-Number] [SP -] [SP Description]
                   [SP "#" SP Directive [SP Reason]] EOL

The dash is simply ignored if it's there.

Yay or nay?
