> We should stop outputting MISSING entirely. Only output the more specific type of MISSING:
> MISSING_IMAGE, MISSING_TEXT, MISSING_IMAGE+TEXT.

Hm. This is a pretty good suggestion (at least as good as any of the others I made), but I don't think calling MISSING syntactic sugar is quite right. This is an example of the more general problem that we don't have a 1:1 mapping between possible combinations of failures and expectation types (and I don't know that we should).

For example, how would we differentiate "text failure + missing image" from "text passed + missing image"? Presumably at least one of them is MISSING_IMAGE; what's the other?
