Similar in spirit to [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-
admin/#django-admin-option---reverse --reverse] introduced in 1.8, the
idea is to add a --random option that will randomise the test run order.
Grouping by test class would be preserved when using this option.
I think the idea behind --reverse is great, so I see something like
--random a way of going a step further to help with debugging test cases
that are not properly isolated.
Going a step further - which might be unnecessary, so this is just a minor
aside - we could even add an option that generates and runs X randomised
test runs in all possible orders given a set of tests. That way, people
who are really paranoid can confirm that their tests really pass and order
genuinely does not matter in any case.
