testing.jam default to "test"?

While using testing.jam, I've made the follow mistake a number of times:

bjam --dump-tests "-sTOOLS=gcc"

The correct invocation is:

bjam --dump-tests "-sTOOLS=gcc" test

Without the "test" argument, the test programs are compiled and linked, but 
the tests not run.

Would it be possible to change the default for testing.jam runs to "test"?

Less attractive, but still better than silent failure would be to put out 
and error message and abort if no target is supplied.
