Yes, it is just a way to format test results.
It's something from the Perl world, and so most of the tools to do
anything useful with it are therefore Perl oriented. It's fairly
limited in the amount of information it can convey - just a test
number, a status, and an optional description. Not even a title for
the tests.
The JUnit XML format is probably far more useful for Pharo. (Though
it's probably not a perfect match either)

All I found so far is what looks like a way to format test results, which sounds harmless and potentially helpful.
