How does an alias play-along with that? Can I say "--state=save" in the
alias and --state=hot on the command-line?
That is, how do I set my environment to always save the state and always
run only the failed tests (unless all the previously failing tests
pass, in which case continue running the rest to make sure.)
$ prove
# ten tests fail, fix some code...
$ prove
# ran only the failing tests -- 5 still fail, fix some code...
$ prove
# all the failing tests now pass and all the rest still pass
Seems like a typical work-cycle, no? If so, it should be doable via
alias or env var.

Issues of control, repair, improvement, cost, or just plain
understandability all come down strongly in favor of open source
solutions to complex problems of any sort.
