If the time is really a problem, I'd rather select a certain set of
files to test all the times.  I'm interested in making sure the
compiler is run against the widest possible range of language
constructs, which plain old random testing isn't likely to do.

I'd prefer, even, an option to enable random sampling for these tests.
 When I'm testing the compiler package, I really want to run the
entire test, not a small part of it.
