I'm with Luke in this case regarding the separator character. Two of the
benefits of '#':

- Test method calls and test classes are easily distinguishable by looking
at them.
- Using "." will leave the user wonder: "How does it know I'm referring to a
method?" which could be a source of misunderstanding.

By the way, using "::" instead of "#" would be consistent with Java 8
notation (not that it is really that important).

To me however, it is more important that I can start the test method from
the command line and a clear (unambigous) syntax would be better here. I
believe why it is mostly needed is to (re)test a single method when
something is broken (and is assumed to be fixed) which is not a predefined
set of test methods. Although probably there are good cases for the
predefined set of methods (to group quicker tests, etc.).
