I was thinking along similar lines myself.  At the least, I think we
can't continue to add a short option for every new test type.
Instead, maybe we could have --test-type=WHATEVER, and perhaps that
then reads whatever.sql from some compiled-in directory.  That would
allow us to sanely support a moderately large number of tests.
