I had a related idea the other night. I commonly like to write functional and system tests using a "unit test" framework, mainly for the organization and reporting capabilities. Since functional and system tests are often significantly slower than unit tests, it's nice to be able to group the tests. My desired use case is to be able to say something like "run all of the functional tests that hit the DB". Or, "run all of the functional tests that hit the UI". One obvious way to do that is to "tag" tests using metadata. Then the above use case turns into "run all of the tests that have metadata tag :foo". The only problem is that tests are functions, but metadata goes on Vars. This causes problems when a test is attached to the real function using the :test metadata flag. Is your tag metadata about the test, or the real fn? An acceptable alternative would be to have a way to run all the tests in a namespace and all 'children' of a namespace. Then I could create a namespace like "test.functional.db.foo" "test.functional.db.bar" and then say "(run-tests-recursive test.functional.db)" and have it run the tests in foo and bar.
