It is certainly a complicated script.  And you're right that
the features may be useful as your test suite grows.  We
ended up needing these features on projects with large
and/or slow test suites.  Zope has 1200 unit tests.  An
internal project had functional tests driven by unittest
that took several minutes to run.  

Using regexs to select test suites and cases was probably
the most useful feature.  We had a few isolated tests that
failed intermittently.  We could use the basic test harness
to select those tests, run them in a loop, and print
tracebacks as soon as they happend.  It was the only sane
alternative :-).
