@MatzeB Thanks for your feedback, its good to learn what some other use cases are.  Sorry about the slow response.  I've looked into adding this functionality to the lit tool.  It looks like we would have to have the `worker_run_one_test( )` return a collection of test objects or possible be turned into a generator.  Then provide some logic to add the extra tests to the main thread's test list.  This would have the side effect of producing more results than test discovery had found `PASS: test-suite :: xyz.test (5 of 3)`.

Do you know if the `--max-tests` option is used and in what context? ( Max number of executables to run or max number of results desired )

Does this sound like a reasonable change?  Would it be invasive to change the test discovery to have tests say how many results they will return and then make worker threads responsible for slices of the list?

Thanks again.
