Since we only use unittest for running subsets of our test suite, I think the
better behavior is to run everything that -u all normally runs. That is, when

I don't think we should accept anything if not running under regrtest, We can
unintentionally run a testfile in which some tests consume a lot of resources.
Also we need in skipping this tests for the test testing. I think it will be
better just add a
