I was thinking about the naming of tests for sections of the C++ standard.
For example the tests for [namespace.udecl] are:
  p1.cpp
  p3.cpp
  p4.cpp
  p5-cxx0x.cpp
  p6-cxx11.cpp
  p7.cpp
  p8.cpp
  p8-cxx0x.cpp
  p10.cpp
  p11.cpp
  p12.cpp
  p13.cpp
  p15.cpp
  p18.cpp

I think that naming the tests pn-cxxmm.cpp to mean, "paragraph pn of cxxmm"
is reasonable, with the understanding that naming a test p3-cxx17.cpp does not
mean that the corresponding rule is specific to C++17, just that it was written
against C++17.
