Normally I run my tests from the shell, so I focused on that use-case. I
do think a bit that it would be cool to have a way to run the tests
selectively from the julia REPL, but haven't put much time into thinking
about the best way. Feel free to file an issue with some suggestions (or
even better a PR) ;)
Then from a user's perspective it might be as easy as:
```
julia> using TestSetExtensions
julia> @includetests MyModule Set1
```
Though it would need to set `Base.ARGS` and then include `runtests.jl`so
that any setup gets done, and also would only work if the tests were
written using the `@includetests` macro.
