Hmm.  Either your other approach with caching line numbers (would need
similar fixes for Solaris awk as listed in my previous message), or one
could enclose the test groups in

cat >"$at_test_source"-AT_ordinal <<_AT_T_EOF
...
_AT_T_EOF

and source the goo by the shell again.  I don't know of another portable
tool that can write to arbitrarily many files.  But talk about going
round in circles, with: shell script -> awk -> shell script -> script
snippet to be sourced.  (With old shells, there will be additional
copies of temp files that hold the here documents.)   :-/

_AT_EOF is already taken by stuff like AT_DATA, maybe the ^_AT namespace
should be listed in the manual as well?
