I could also see value in adding a little help output to give examples on regex-based test selection. Also - when we run "ant testsome" in the base of the project it just starts to run things instead of kicking out help text to give guidance on how to run a subset of tests.
Generally speaking, I think we could probably really improve the discoverability of how to run a subset of tests and/or get involved with developing in this space.
