how would you reliably detect a *new* string? New could also mean

DISK OK - free space: /mnt/baz 8783 MB (98% inode=99%);
changing to
DISK OK - free space: /mnt/baz 8782 MB (98% inode=99%);

or 

TCP OK - 0.000 second response time on port 22
TCP OK - 0.001 second response time on port 22

Just for clarification even though this feature would likely not make
sense for check_tcp.
