We've landed --load-list, this is closely related, but not the same.

Title:
  testtools.run should support selecting tests by id

Status in testtools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Strawman:
testtools.run --include foo --include bar # loads all, makes empty and starts including
testtools.run --exclude bar --exclude gam # loads all, starts discarding
testtools.run --include foo --exclude bar # loads all, make empty, includes foo, then discards bar

This should preserve suites as testresources does. One tricky bit of interaction would be to keep one big suite for testresources suites.
