I would not use TEST{} if required files executed any of their TEST{}
blocks under -t:  there'd be no way to test just one file.  You'd get all
your require'd files unit-test invocations mixed in with yours -- lots of
effort to separate them out for reporting purposes.  To avoid this, you'd
have to have *none* of the distribution using TEST{} -- which would defeat
one of the main benefits of having TEST{} in the first place, for general
use.
