I think you missed my point and andrews.

The /only/ data you need is the names/ids to load. From that we can
build a test suite that contains just those tests, parameterisation is
the responsibility of the test_suite() interface (and refinements such
as I did at the end of the year).

Any approach where you use anything other than the name of the test is
almost guaranteed to be flawed in concept.
