Documented in expect_output

#' Does code print output to the console?
#'
#' Test for output produced by `print()` or `cat()`. This is best used for
#' very simple output; for more complex cases use [expect_snapshot()].

#' @export
#' @family expectations
#' @inheritParams expect_that
#' @param regexp Regular expression to test against.
#'   * A character vector giving a regular expression that must match the output.
#'   * If `NULL`, the default, asserts that there should output,
#'     but doesn't check for a specific value.
#'   * If `NA`, asserts that there should be no output.
#' @inheritDotParams expect_match -object -regexp -info -label
#' @inheritParams capture_output
#' @return The first argument, invisibly.
