We should improve the unittest help, then :)  I will also note that the couple 
of times I tried it I couldn't figure out how to use the regrtest test 
selection :)

What we probably need for regrtest is a way to pass through a "selection 
string" from the regrtest command line to the unittest test discovery, and then 
run the selected tests under regrtest control.  The same could apply to Sphinx 
doctests and module doctests.  This may require adding APIs to those packages 
(unittest may already have the necessary API).  

I think the Sphinx case is the one that will take the most work to accomplish, 
but I also think it is worth the effort to do that rather than adding 
CPython-specific stuff to regrtest.
