It's an excellent idea.  While we're at it, it would also be nice if
tests were arranged into subdirectories so that it's easier to find
those that might be particularly useful for testing new code.

BTW, it should be possible to write a script that would fetch the
bug title from Bugzilla, which (properly mangled) could be a first
guess at the new test name.
