OK, I'll update. I just finished testing all this too :-/

Hmm, what about "flags:" instead. As a way to denote what this test has.

 # flags: instance

I'll look into doing this. I originally had an option to run just
instance tests, and overriding TRACING_DIR wasn't an option at the time.

Again, this was due to the ftracetest option. I'll update.

TEST_TAGS? Or you mean something like the way to get the description.

TEST_FLAGS?

Why? It never will be empty. It's a pseudo dir and files can not be
created or destroyed in it by the user. It should be created by the
test, and destroyed by the test. Hopefully it's a unique name. The name
is currently something like instances/func_event_triggers.tc_test
It's "instances/${testname}_test". I could even add a $$ just to be
more random here.

Thanks for you review! I'll have a new patch out soon.
