I'm thinking we change _list_tests() above like
-       return list(lines)
+
+       # Filter out any extraneous non-test output that might have
gotten mixed in.
+       return [l for l in lines if re.match('^\w+\.\w+$', l)]

The problem with \w is that it doesn't match -.
So I'm thinking we maybe go with something very lax like
  '^[^\s.]+\.[^\s.]+$'

Since we don't have any requirements on the naming convention, I don't
know if we can be stricter.
Like, KUNIT_CASE() sorta enforces that test cases follow C identifier
naming rules, but users could always work around it fairly easily by
instantiating the struct directly.
