Option for running tests on same thread as output thread

[chadaustin]

If you drop a putStrLn or traceM into the middle of a test, you'll get output like this:

  readFeed with real data: E n v e l o p e   { e I d   =   U r l   { u r l H e a d   =   F u l ly[u3a2l;i2f2imedO K"h[tmp"(3U2r;l2H2omst  ({0u.h0H2oss)tN[mme [ 3"2a;p2i2.mlo

It would be rather convenient to have an option to have the test output and the test execution itself on the same thread.

I don't know of a way to do this which wouldn't increase the code complexity significantly.

Hspec runs all tests that are not explicitly marked for parallel execution on the main thread, exactly for that reason.

But it's true that this very requirement increases code complexity quite a bit.

Tasty's architecture makes running independent from reporting — both logically and in terms of threads.

This allows to plug different (and even multiple) reporters easily, but this particular request it makes hard to accomodate.

The situation can be improved somewhat by enabling buffering (#101 (comment)). The output wouldn't be interleaved like it is right now, but it still wouldn't be synchronized.
