Comment:
OK. I think there's confusion about this distinction across the ecosystem.
For example, [https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/tests/ The
Hitchhiker's Guide to Python] says, "Learn your tools and learn how to run
a single test or a test case" (where test case seems to mean all the tests
in a class).
In Django's comment, I think `per-TestCase` isn't confusing because the
casing implies a class. My guess is that most people read "test case" as
pertaining to classes, but it seems that being more precise won't hurt.
