Oh cut the crap.  The new test runner tries very hard to be backward
compatible.  The old test runner was increasingly unmaintaiable and
had a host of bugs of it's own.

I can't tell what you snipped, but I'm guessing that it was the
breakage of supplying a module name as a positional argument.
This breakage was not intentional. It was a bug.  There is an
easy work around: just use the -m option.
