It seems obvious once you know, but at first I didn't realise that the
suite name is part of this format. Document it and add example.

Apologies for the overly terse docs, that's my fault :)
I'm wondering if we can further improve it while we're here.
Note, the format for the glob is: $suite_name[.$test_name].
This current wording and examples (before and after this change) might
make the user think otherwise, i.e. that it works like
effective_name = suite_name + '.' + test_name
return glob_matches(effective_name, filter_glob)
E.g. given a test name like `suite.test_name` and glob='suite*name'
they might expect it to match, but it does *not*.
The logic actually works like:
suite_glob, test_glob = split(filter_glob)
if not_glob_matches(suite_name, suite_glob):
return False
if test_glob and not glob_matches(test_name, test_glob):
return False
return True
Perhaps expanding the list of examples to cover more of the edge cases
could help get the right intuition?
E.g. perhaps these:
kunit.py run <suite_name> # runs all tests in a specific suite
kunit.py run <suite_name>.<test_name> # run a specific test
kunit.py run suite_prefix* # what the current example shows
kunit.py run *.*test_suffix # matches all suites, only tests w/ a
certain suffix
kunit.py run suite_prefix*.*test_suffix # combined version of above
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Daniel

Thanks yeah, good point. The result is pretty verbose but it doesn't
create much cognitive load for the reader so might as well just be
really explicit. v2 incoming if `make htmldocs` ever finishes....

We can take this via KUnit -- sorry for the delay.
