Thanks for reminding me.  Another bit of meta-information that should
be optionally supported in the TAP YAML output is "duration".  If one's
comparing the behavior of a test suite over time, some might find it
beneficial to know that they've added 10% more tests but increased the
time it takes to run those tests by 300%.  Of course, this is a *very*
sketchy metric and not one I would be too keen on relying on, but some
might value it.

Cheers,
Ovid
