Let's zoom out here so we are not asking "Xy questions" of each other. I think the most common use-case is that I make some change — possibly extremely minor — in, say, checks/foo.pm and I want to re-run the testsuite to check that I've fixed whatever false-positive or edge-case in a tag that I am in the process of implementing. We should optimise for kind of pattern. What do you think? What this means in terms of the implementation detail of the testsuite (which I'm afraid I have let get beyond my insight) I would have to leave up to you, alas.
