It's desirable for test names to be stable so that results can be compared
over time, which means a presumption that renaming an existing testcase is
bad unless the name is really, really confusing (a pair testname-1.c and
testname_1.c might count as confusing, but not test.C unless there's
another very similar test in the same directory, in which case the "test"
part would need changing).
