It may be convenient to introduce a new test-specific property, test.file, containing the filename of the defining file of the test (the file containing `@test`).
Given the recent change to allow "smart action args" in actions, this would make it easier to copy-and-paste test descriptions between tests that only differ in the name of the test file. One possible use of this is when a shared class is used to execute individual tests. For example, a series of might be executed by a custom test runner that processes the test file as needed. For example, the tests could all have a similar test description of
/*
* @test
* @run main MyTestRunner ${this.file}
*/
which would case MyTestRunner to be invoked with the filename of the defining file as an argument.
