Very nice.  Two minor points: the first thing I did was to add a
"foo", but that just adds the option and doesn't select it; the second
one is that once it's added, there's no way to remove it.  Both not
too important.

Something that I thought about earlier is that choosing a new
submodule name would actually run it -- but that has a problem since
it doesn't correspond to the main run button.  Another possibility: if
you find submodules in the definitions, you show a button for each
one, which results in a very nice language-based feature for running
tests.  Could even be hooked on the "run" button, as an additional
dropdown thing that lets you choose which part to run.
