> A test VM used by the IR framework sometimes prints `` in the middle of emitting a `PrintIdeal` or `PrintOptoAssembly` output which could lead to IR matching failures:

> I thought about just bailing out of IR matching if this string is found after a failure but this issue also affects internal framework tests (I observed one case locally where this happened in the test `TestIRMatching`, letting it fail).
> 
> Handling `` makes things more complicated for the IR framework tests. I'm not sure about the value of printing this message in the first place. But if nobody objects, I suggest to either remove it or at least guard it with `Verbose`, for example. I went with the latter solution in this PR.
