Old description:

> pass in lots of elements to test.  But some tests scale linearly while
> others scale cubically, so it's not practical to have the same list of
> elements for all tests.  This patch adds a `max_runs` option for
> `TestSuite.run` that forces sampling of the element list when a large
> list is specified.

New description:

 In writing unit tests (e.g. `_test_associativity`) it can be useful to
 pass in lots of elements to test.  But some tests scale linearly while
 others scale cubically, so it's not practical to have the same list of
 elements for all tests.  This patch adds a `max_runs` option for
 `TestSuite.run` that forces sampling of the element list when a large list
 is specified.
