Re: Support for unittest -k option

[Luke Plant]

I use `--keepdb` a lot, I never knew there was a shorthand and even know I do know wouldn't use it. For things like this I usually find it easy to remember the long option. So I'm +1 on changing it too, without a new shorthand for `--keepdb`. In the keyword usage `-k` must be followed by a keyword, so for people who did use it the shorthand, the old usage will break loudly which is good.

Currently, `-k` is the shorthand for `--keepdb` in Django. A `--filter` flag was suggested to preserve backward compatibility. Carlton suggested removing the `-k` option from `--keepdb` and reusing it for unittest `-k`. That would follow unittest more closely, reduce user confusion and ease maintenance. What do you think is best? Do you see other options? If re-taking the `-k` option for unittest `-k`, should a new shorthand be introduced for `--keepdb`?
