The command-line option --batch-string binds `batch_answers_from_file'
to `true'. That is how the test script, tests/test.sh.in, calls
`run_testsuite':

# Since commit 76db0aec5 introduced the ability to read answers to
# interactive tests from the input file, the regression test
# rtest_ask1.mac is run as a regular regression test.
echo "Running the testsuite..."
$LOCAL_MAXIMA --lisp=$LISP --batch-string='build_info();run_testsuite(share_tests=true);' 2>&1 | tee "$OUTPUT_LOG"

We could do as you suggest, but it works as is.
