Nice idea, but let me play devil's advocate for a second, to make sure we
are clear-headed about this.  Just to go over our terms, our smallest
primitive is the "test", and tests are grouped in "suites".  What we are
really getting at here is adding a new type---a group of suites---which on
the surface sounds self-contradictory.  Is there a parallel for this in
other testing frameworks, or did we fail in some basic assumption about
how testing should work, that we find ourselves needing to reinvent unit
testing?
