Worse, it's inconsistent with the rest of the API:

ok        $foo == $bar, $REASON;
is        $foo,   $bar, $REASON;
is_deeply $foo,   $bar, $REASON;

And then this:

skip $REASON, $num;

Sadly, it would be hard to change that since so many people use the
"wrong" syntax.

Re-reading the man page, it looks like isa_ok and can_ok can't even
accept a test description?
