I've been thinking about a more sophisticated mechanism for this,  
using code coverage. If autotest / rspactor was able to record and  
remember the LOC covered by each scenario / example, it would be  
possible to do more focussed regression testing when a source file was  
changed.

That's as far as I've got: an idea. I just though I'd mention it in  
case anyone has time on their hands... ;)
