Issue:
"Iterate failures" mode that skips mutations that were caught last time
If someone's iterating on trying to improve coverage it might be helpful to only try mutants that were not caught on the last run, maybe by automatically looking in `mutants.out`.

However you can get close to this today by narrowing it with `-f`.

Closely related to #57.

----

# Implementation approach

I'll pick this up, based on ideas for @cl3joly but in a separate branch.

This could be done in either a positive or negative sense:

* Skip mutants that passed on a previous run: will pick up newly added mutants (probably good); will test mutants that were not yet known to have passed; does require remembering which one are skipped or they will be included in a third run
* Only test mutants that failed on a previous run

Basic idea is to:

- [ ] Add an `--iterate` command-line option (it would not make sense to have in the config.)
- [ ] Add the concept of an "previous output directory", by default the same path that will be used for output. 
- [ ] Read the previously caught mutants from `caught.txt` in that output directory
- [ ] (It would help here to also have a list of mutants that were still pending and untested when the previous run finished, #290.)
- [ ] If those lists are all empty, print an info message that there's no iterative work to do.
- [ ] After generating all the mutants, filter down to only the names that occur in the list. (There's an opportunity here to only generate mutants from files that occur in the lists, but that could be left for later.)

In this approach if you also change the filters, for example focussing on one file at a time, then after that change it will test everything, which seems OK.

Pull request:
Add --iterate option
Adds a `--iterate` option that will skip mutants that passed in a previous run. The idea is that if you are adding tests that, presumably, only improve coverage, you can easily find out if you've now fixed every previous gap.

Fixes #53

This will only be stable if you're using the same filter options (`--file`) etc on consecutive runs.

# Fuzzy matching?

There is a question whether it's better to match the line and column numbers, or better to consider mutants as matched even if they've moved a bit. It's easy to imagine that in the process of improving coverage, some code would move around a bit and ideally we'd detect that it moved but did not change. On the other hand, ignoring the line and column is likely to be ambiguous when there are similarly-named mutants within the same file or function, which might cause some things to be skipped incorrectly. 

The process of catching mutants is probably often about adding more test coverage. Since that occurs typically in either integration test files or in unit tests at the bottom of files, it typically shouldn't cause code to move? If the code under test needs to be changed to improve coverage, perhaps it's better to re-test it. So, overall, I think I won't do any fuzzy matching at this point.

# TODO

- [x] Add an `--iterate` command-line option (it would not make sense to have in the config.)
- [x] Read in `caught.txt` and `previously_caught.txt` before creating the new output directory. 
- [x] Write all of them into `previously_caught.txt` in the new output directory.
- [x] Skip previously caught mutants.
- [x] Integration type tests.
- [x] Document how to use this.
- [x] Document the new file in `mutants.out`.
- [x] Test that `--list` excludes previously-caught mutants, but does not update the files.
- [x] Test there's no `previously_caught.txt` without `--iterate`.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- New: `--iterate` option skips mutants that were previously caught or unviable.
+
 - New: cargo-mutants starts a GNU jobserver, shared across all children, so that running multiple `--jobs` does not spawn an excessive number of compiler processes. The jobserver is on by default and can be turned off with `--jobserver false`.
 
 - Fixed: Don't error on diffs containing a "Binary files differ" message.

+# Iterating on missed mutants
+
+When you're working to improve test coverage in a tree, you might use a process like this:
+
+1. Run `cargo-mutants` to find code that's untested, possibly filtering to some selected files.
+
+2. Think about why some mutants are missed, and then write tests that will catch them.
+
+3. Run cargo-mutants again to learn whether your tests caught all the mutants, or if any remain.
+
+4. Repeat until everything is caught.
+
+You can speed up this process by using the `--iterate` option. This tells cargo-mutants to skip mutants that were either caught or unviable in a previous run, and to accumulate the results.
+
+You can run repeatedly with `--iterate`, adding tests each time, until all the missed mutants are caught (or skipped.)
+
+## How it works
+
+When `--iterate` is given, cargo-mutants reads `mutants.out/caught.txt`, `previously_caught.txt`, and `unviable.txt` before renaming that directory to `mutants.out.old`. If those files don't exist, the lists are assumed to be empty.
+
+Mutants are then tested as usual, but excluding all the mutants named in those files. `--list --iterate` also applies this exclusion and shows you which mutants will be tested.
+
+Mutants are matched based on their file name, line, column, and description, just as shown in `--list` and in those files. As a result, if you insert or move text in a source file, some mutants may be re-tested.
+
+After testing, all the previously caught, caught, and unviable are written into `previously_caught.txt` so that they'll be excluded on future runs.
+
+`previously_caught.txt` is only written when `--iterate` is given.
+
+## Caution
+
+`--iterate` is a heuristic, and makes the assumption that any new changes you make won't reduce coverage, which might not be true. After you think you've caught all the mutants, you should run again without `--iterate` to make sure.
