Please hold off; Fredrik found an issue with the test automation that
bisects to "verbose mode for only tests matching a pattern"; when
running with the 'test' target (not with prove however), the suite
reports

  failed test(s):  

  fixed   0
  success 9788
  failed  2
  broken  69
  total   9989

Even worse, I botched a rebase that makes the commit before --
"self-test that --verbose works" untestable.  I'm pretty sure that it
has the same problem, too, though I'm still investigating the actual
issue.
