Hey all (probably specifically Dave) -
Is there any patch in the works to allow non-numeric test names? It'd be nice to get away from the nondescript numbers clashing.
The numeric names "in service of nothing" is making Zach unhappy.
And if Zach ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. ;)
But seriously, I think that was in the works, or in the plan, once. Is there a patch out there somewhere?
Thanks,
-Eric

Yeah, it drives me nuts. I never want to rebase a patch series to
renumber test number conflicts again.

I'll give it a go if someone hasn't yet :).

Well, I was kind of waiting for the rest of Lukas' patch that
introduced config sections to be finished and committed before
touching that same code...

On the count of 3. 1... 2... 3...
Awwwwww, poor Zach.

There's a bit of infrastructure work to make it a reality - all of
the CLI parsing/validity checks assumes tests are numbered and match
a sepcific regex, as do some of the test list building functions.
That all needs to be reworked, and up until now it hasn't been a
huge priority for me so I haven't started that work yet.
You're more than welcome to hack on it if you want....
Cheers,
Dave.
