i didn't have to, but i'd rather not have to rely on filenames to specify
the order of tests.
* i want to make sensible names for the tests
* i want to be able to add tests later (with sensible
names) and put them in the test order anywhere i like
when i start writing tests, i usually don't know all the features i might
have, so i don't know all of the test names i might have. if i name
something 01.load.t and 01.loop.t (to test if the module loads and the
loop feature works), then later want to add a test file for the 'list'
feature that needs to happen before the 'loop' test, i can't easily fit
that into the naming scheme. it's gets kludgely.
with the 'test' target in WriteMakefile i used to be able to simply
say which order i wanted things.
