Given how expensive mutation testing is, I think it would be valuable to have the option of only testing a random sample of mutations. This could still give you a decent idea of your test quality and some common themes of surviving mutants, without the lengthy runtime required for exhaustively testing thousands of mutants. Some other mutation testing packages already support this, but I like mutmut and would love to see it here.
I am imagining something like mutmut run --random-sample 0.4 --random-seed 42
I'd be open to contributing a PR if maintainer(s) are interested.
