QuickCheck Questions

How can I run a particular Hspec test with stack?

This page spells it out:

stack test --test-arguments='--match "some spec item"'

Is there some special reason that QuickCheck property tests begin with prop_, such as automated test discovery?

There may be. QuickCheck provides a function named quickCheckAll that uses TemplateHaskell to discover properties and then test all of them.
