Subject: [boost] [build][testing] Tests naming in Jamfile

Hi,

I'm updating Jamfile-s of Boost.GIL and it made me wondering:

For example:

test-suite "boost-gil-test" :
    [ run promote_integral.cpp ]
    ;

Apart from replacing the deprecated test-suite with alias,
I wonder what is the recommended policy of naming the
test suites, are there any rules?

For example, should it be more or less hierarchical
   boost-{lib}-{testname}
   {lib}-{testname}
   {testname}
or the name is completely local to/internal in a library
and library maintainers are free to name as they desire?

I could not find anything in the development guidelines
and the testing policy docs.

Best regards,
