Thanks for that tip, Ovid!

I had overlooked this feature. I did find it helpful, but found it it
doesn't work in combination with the "-j" feature to run tests in
parallel. I'm not sure if that's a bug, or an inherent limitation.

Still, it's nice to know about this option, even if I have to have a
slower test run now-and-then to use it.
