...as in bug 1357520, but for reftest instead of mochitest.

This bug aims to add a --verify option for the reftest test harness, supporting test verification. Test verification involves running a test, or small group of tests, repeatedly and possibly in different environments, with the intent of finding intermittent test failures quickly and efficiently.
This is very similar to the changes made for mochitests (and xpcshell tests).

Thanks, good point. I filed bug 1396901 and will follow-up once the first reftest selftests land.
