-Dsuites option still runs all suites

[githorse]

When I run mvn test -Dsuites=com.example.FooSpec, all of my tests still run as before. In the logs, I can see that FooSpec does get instantiated first, but then I see "Discovery starting" and all the other specs still get instantiated and run:

$ mvn test -Dsuites=com.example.FooSpec

...

Discovery completed in 26 seconds, 444 milliseconds.
Run starting. Expected test count is: 170
FooSpec:
Foo
  when stuff happens
  - should confidently announce that everything will be fine
BarSpec:
Bar
  when stuff happens
  - should exhibit an unruffled demeanor
BazSpec:
Baz
  when stuff happens
  - should stride purposefully over and deal with it

Not sure what I'm missing here. How can I run just the single test I want?
