Consider this test file:

#!perl

use Test::More 0.96;

subtest "subtest1" => sub {
    ok 1;
    ok 2;
};

subtest "subtest2" => sub {
    ok 3;
    ok 4;
    ok 5;
    subtest "subtest3" => sub {
        ok 6;
        ok 7;
    };
};

done_testing;

If we run it:

% prove -lv t/sample.t 
t/sample.t .. 
    # Subtest: subtest1
    ok 1
    ok 2
    1..2
ok 1 - subtest1
    # Subtest: subtest2
    ok 1
    ok 2
    ok 3
        # Subtest: subtest3
        ok 1
        ok 2
        1..2
    ok 4 - subtest3
    1..4
ok 2 - subtest2
1..2
ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=2,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.00 sys +  0.01 cusr  0.00 csys =  0.03 CPU)
Result: PASS

Is there a way to get the number of tests including those inside subtests? (in this case, 7, or 8 if we include the inner subtests, or 10 if we include all subtests). Since I group tests using subtests, I keep seeing a low number of tests (in this case, 2) even though I have added more and more tests.
