Thanks, combined with the possibility to run tests suits by name this 
will simplify our test projects. Our goal is to make some "high level" 
test suits like smoke_tests, slow_tests, integration_tests, and to run 
only some of them using command line parameters. Currently we are doing 
this with manual registration.

As experiment, we also made some changes in 1.33.1 to achieve this with 
auto-registration. Unfortunately the changes do not work with 1.34, so 
we will wait until you publish this feature.

Best regards,
Stefan
