I'm probably misunderstanding, but this sounds *too* effective.
Wouldn't it also mask unexpected failures? That
is, it's reasonable to have a set of "known and expected failures", but
you do want to be sure to learn about unexpected failures.
I don't see any way to avoid specifying exactly which tests are expected
to fail.
