I'm not really sure this approach is right.

If we were to decide that some of the tests resulting from
test_matrix_iterate ought to have different suite values, we would
have to (re)introduce a layer of indirection.

Perhaps it would be better to retain defsuite and defguestsuite;
move the copy from those to suite and guestsuite closer to use site;
and unconditionally set the runvar ?

Ian.
