Python sort of has that, but I guess it depends on your definition of "fast"
:).  Here are my run times.

'make quicktest': 18m
'make test'     : 30m
'make testall'  : 35m

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to add a very fast "smoke test" for the
case where you get tripped up on the merge dance floor.  When that happens,
you could run your localized tests, and then a set of tests that run in just a
minute or two.
