Feature request: scoped tags

[asinghvi17]

I often have the scenario where I have nested tag areas, where all tests in that block should share a tag:

@testset "Angle based testing" begin
@testset "Radian testing" begin
# tests here
end
@testset "Degree testing" begin
# tests here
end
end

Let's say that I want to convert these to TestItems - I would then have to do

@testitem "Radian testing 1" tags=["Angle", "Radian"] begin
end

and so on and so forth. This goes on for five or ten layers if I want very granular test items, so it's not trivial or readable to keep writing these.

Would it be possible / desired to build out a macro, maybe @testtag, with which I could do:

@testtag "Angle" begin
@testtag "Radian" begin
# radian test items
end
@testtag "Degree" begin
# degree test items
end
end

for the same result?

I think for this kind of hierarchical story, the existing file system hierarchy is the way to go for test selection? Essentially we have two ways already to select which test items to run: the hierarchical file system/path stuff, and then the tag system on top of that. I'm a bit hesitant to add more concepts, to be honest :)

Closing this for now, the official story is: we have file system for hierarchies, and tags are flat.
