I just rebased the retry-lock and message-properties series (separately)
on top of your commit without conflicts, so it's probably not that big
of a deal.  Do you think it's worth documenting what the supposed groups
of tests are (maybe in tests/README)? The groups could really use some
cleaning up. For example, we have at least two set groups of emacs
tests. Some things will be harder to classify, of course. That's why we [1]
believe in tags not folders ;). Nonetheless, perhaps it will be useful
to have things a bit less chaotic.  Eventually we might even want to
support the idea of running a "group" of tests.
