With Python 3.7, the `unittest` module got a `-k` option (as in keyword),
to run tests matching a given keyword. Corresponding entry in the
[https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html#unittest Python 3.7
unittest release note entry]. Associated python issue:
https://bugs.python.org/issue32071.
The feature seems to be coming from the `py.test` project feature
[https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/usage.html#specifying-tests-selecting-
tests running tests by keyword expression]. The feature is also available
in other testing frameworks, such as `PHPUnit`'s
[https://phpunit.de/manual/6.5/en/textui.html --filter] option.
Adding a similar feature to Django would facilitate test selection. Since
`-k` is already the short-hand for `--keepdb`, it may make more sense to
implement another flag, maybe `--filter`?
