TODO: limited selective execution from cli (see long desc)

Browse Source

well the problem with arbitrary selection is that... you need to do lots
of matching, which is confusing too when you need to encode nesting. so
what if just.. node cli.js index_test.js?

this isn't concerned with reporters or execution, this happens at the
cli level and it solely affects which modules are imported instead of
just all_tests.js.

alternatively, we could do suites instead of files. this is probably
better huh because you don't need to type out all those file paths, and
it doesn't punish large files (because a test file corresponds to
a source code file)

so we'd just import all_tests.js, then just filter out suites whose name
doesn't match <input>, before calling `run` on it. deleting and
filtering out suites should probably be methods on the registrar

i suspect the impl will be tiny excl argument parser nonsense, so imo
squash this into the commit that added registrars

add a comment describing the use-case as “just run the tests i'm editing
to save time”, rather than as skipping, then briefly mention why general
purpose skipping is still a tentative future feature
