Hmm... maybe just "--nonrecursive" comand line option, with an obvious(?) 
semantics?

Can't agree. Originally there were no directories under "time", only tests. 
Later, some directories were added with many tests. But still I want to run 
tests in "test" only, just to catch bugs early without waiting for a long 
time. Those tests can be seen as "minimal" testsuite. 

You can argue that if I constantly want to bypass a set of tests then the 
tests are poorly designed, but ...  if I'm sure that 10% of tests will catch 
most blunders I make, I'd prefer to run all tests only before comitting.
