Comment (by goldfire):
I'd go a step further than comment:1 and put these kinds of tests in their
own directory within the `testsuite/tests` directory. Something like
`unsupp` (or, if you're feeling verbose -- as I often do --
`would_be_nice`). Then, when I see a failure as I'm putting in a new
feature, my level of disappointment at failing the testsuite will be
immediately lowered. Do include a README in the folder describing its
purpose. Ideally, each test case would also repeat the info that the
behavior is unsupported.
I do fully support the inclusion of these tests in the testsuite. Thanks
for suggesting it!
