You should be able to use an event trigger that raises a message when
table_rewrite is hit, to notify the test driver that a rewrite happens.

(If any DDL that causes a table rewrite fails to trigger the
table_rewrite event correctly, that is a bug.)

ISTM that depending on DEBUG messages is bad because debugging lines
added elsewhere will make your tests fail; and INFO is generally frowned
upon (I, for one, would frown upon an INFO message raised by ALTER
TABLE, for sure.) so let's not do that either.
