 r42760 added the `watch:phpunit` task, but it only supports the filtering
 tests by the group. In ticket:42282#comment:18 @soulseekah asked about
 adding support PHPUnit filters, etc.

 That seems very desirable, and there are other PHPUnit arguments that
 would be useful too, like filtering by test name, and file.

 Rather than building all that from scratch, though, we could switch to
 using  [https://github.com/spatie/phpunit-watcher phpunit-watcher]
 instead. It already has support for all of those, plus an interactive mode
 where you can switch between them at will, rather than having to restart
 the task with different args.

 I've been using it lately and it seems to work well^1^.

 @netweb, it looks like you've contributed to it in the past; do you think
 it'd work well for Core?

 ![1] Since Core is such a large repo, we'd probably need to wait until
 [https://github.com/spatie/phpunit-watcher/pull/116 #116-phpunit-watcher]
 is merged.
