feature: now one can for example run
gap tst/testinstall/perm.tst
which is equivalent to
gap -c 'Test("tst/testinstall/perm.tst");'
but shorter and easier to enter via shell command completion.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Of course one could try to make this more robust: e.g. first check if f refers to an existing and readable file, and if not... dunno, what? Right now, one gets a break loop, which says "type 'quit;' to quit to outer loop" but if one does that, GAP actually quits (because the main REPL has not yet been started). Hmm
