Most of the time I use --immediate, insert an explicit "exit", or hit
^C instead of waiting for the test to complete anyway. --debug always
struck me as a theoretically useful thing (more useful output!) though
I never used it much.

That might be useful for e.g. automatically re-running tests with
expected failures or unexpected successes and tarring up the test
repo.

Right, the effect of this patch is good though I agree with Sverre
that its method is ugly.
Maybe unconditionally printing a log between tests would be good
behavior for --debug after all. Not sure.
