Ah, if that's what you want, you'd just list the top-level directory
suite, which contains each test exactly once.  I thought you were
complaining that if you listed two suites on the command line that had
some overlap, overlapping tests might be printed multiple times, and I
was pointing out that this would be consistent with other unix tools
like ls.
