I've needed something similar before (like when I want to run a set of failing
tests, but maybe run some other set in between).

What would be nice is something like a --save-collected <name> and
--load-collected <name>. Then you could do "--lf --save-collected bisect" once,
and do "--load-collected bisect" to rerun exactly those tests.

I wanted to write a plugin for that for months (if not years) now, but never
got around to it. So far I've also done what you described.
