I forgot this one:

3) Allow passing in the path on disk. Mostly because this lets me use tab
completion:

bzrlib/tests/test_foo.py

could see that there is a '/' and translate it to "bzrlib.tests.test_foo".

I probably wouldn't need it as much if I had aliases, but though it does help
when typing log test modules as you don't have to worry about misspelling.

I probably would even take this *over* aliases in the short term.
