Description
elm-test supports a watch mode through elm-test --watch, which is extremely useful.
In projects where tests are slow and when I'm doing some refactoring (moving position of arguments, renaming, etc.), I would like to have the option to run elm-test make --watch to have a quick feedback to make sure I did all the necessary changes for my code and tests to compile.
Unfortunately, at the moment elm-test make --watch ignores the --watch flag.
Prior art: elm-test-rs supports this option.

Research direction
Start at the elm-test make command entry point and compare how the existing elm-test --watch mode handles the --watch flag. Trace why elm-test make --watch currently ignores it, then verify that make mode watches for changes and provides feedback after edits, matching the requested behavior and the prior art in elm-test-rs.
