It does seem like a good idea to help people map from descriptive names
to their previous numeric file names.

But do we want to bake it in to the file names forevermore?  Would it be
good enough to start the old tests with something like

_was_test_nr 45

that spits out the old test number in the log?

Just thinking out loud over here.
