No objection to the proposed idea either, but I wanted to point out that
I had the idea sometime ago that each test would declare which other
test it depended on; so if you specify one to run in isolation, the ones
it depended on got run beforehand. I never got around to implementing
it because running the whole bunch doesn't take that long anyway, but if
for some reason you want to run a specific test over and over, it is
useful.
