I've tried moving the 26_numeric tests to a different target but it
doesn't make much difference, the regex tests still take longer than
any other target. We could try splitting up the 28_regex tests across
two targets, but the fact is that it takes 2-5 seconds to compile any
test using std::regex, so the more tests we add the slower the
testsuite gets.
I'm not an expert in this area, but my guess is indeed that it would
be beneficial to split up 28_regex across multiple targets, why not
more than 2, I would try 4 for example.
In general, I agree it would certainly make sense grouping the tests,
but not all in a single file! Anyway, let's fix this bug first.
