Sounds good.

This seems fine.

Comma-delimited sounds perfect.

I don't like "runonly", because that could also easily mean "which tests 
to run." -- e.g., "only run these tests." It's ambiguous, and could be 
easily be confused with the filter option.

I'd advocate using 'jsphase' -- to pile on, later on when we figure out 
a way to load up the JS tests without running them, this option would 
apply to both, so using "run" for this would make even less sense.

Obviously the person doing this at the command line knows that they're 
either loading or running tests, so it seems kind of unecessary.

What would this look like being called inside a running shell with 
run_js_test_dir?
