No, I could fairly easily add that. One reason is that it seems nice to have the tests in a known order, with new tests added at the end. This is so that a given test always gets the same number, because test numbers can be nice for some things. (In particular, the newest test can always be referred to as "-1", which is convenient for running it with less typing.) Another reason is that not everything in the tests/ directory is a test. There are a couple of other files used by the tests (various hooks, and the test keys), and also a directory tests/common/ with include files for working with CVS or netsync. Although I suppose that wouldn't be a problem if what we looked for was $TEST_DIR/*/__driver__.lua .
