Known-failing tests should be marked in some way or another. Thus far
people have proposed putting them in separate packages so that you can
simply unload them.
That is not a bad solution. However, it would be better if you can
load a known-failing test without having the tools bother you. Then
you can see the tests and mess with them. To achieve this, however,
you need to have a way to mark this in the image.
The simplest way I can think of is to rename the methods for
known-failing tests. Right now, a method named testFoo is a unit
test. We could change that so that pendtestFoo is a pending unit test
that is known not to work.
