I was too lazy. (But probably I try to omit documenting because of lack of

No, the tests do not have any special naming. As they are a subset of 
revertedTests their name
starts with 'INVERTED'.
Of course, it could be arranged.
But one can use e.g.
        #ctest -R someregex -LE  suspended
to get the desired.

I expect the suspended to pass (120 cases). If some of them fails (good news), 
it will be the minority
listed by ctest.
This is really easier to check.

I am not sure I understand.
ATM export tests are expected to pass. All other tests are coverer be 
revertedTests.
We (Scott and me) would add them to revertedTests.
