That would be much nicer.  I am so used to writing SKIP: {} and TODO: {} that I 
scratch my head
and wonder why my cleanup doesn't work in END: {}.  The presence or absence of that 
little colon
causes me enough grief that I suspect having such a subtle difference as TEST {} 
versus TEST: {}
is begging for trouble.

This does mean, though, that it won't play nicely with versions of Perl < 5.6.0.  Is 
that trade
off acceptable?

Cheers,
Ovid
