Well, naturally I had to get the example wrong because it it *reads* wrong even
if it's right. It should have read:
skip 1, "I'm lazy and don't wanna run no tests" if 1;
That's incorrect, even though saying "skip X tests" reads naturally to me.
Since "skip this many for tis reason" is how I mentally think of SKIP: blocks,
I keep writing them like that, even though it's wrong. As mentioned, it fails
silently.
Cheers,
Ovid
