Hi Robert,

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that won't work. Most of our story
tests are now isolated. Only stories starting by a number are actually
part of a unisolated sequence. A naive grep finds 68 such files that are
part of a sequence. If it's only those sequence you wanted to collapse,
and it will require a shell script a little bit more clever than your
example one.

Cheers
