Strictly speaking, `lit` only controls when tests start, not anything about how they run. With enough cores, tests will complete in a fairly predictable order despite any effort to start tests in a different order (or randomly).

That's odd, the documentation <https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods> even contains such an example:

  For example:
  >>>
  
  >>> '1,2,3'.split(',')
  ['1', '2', '3']
  >>> '1,2,3'.split(',', maxsplit=1)
  ['1', '2,3']
  >>> '1,2,,3,'.split(',')
  ['1', '2', '', '3', '']
