But there are testsuites that use Abstract Tests in the sense of 
abstract classes: e.g. the ClassTestCase implements a bunch of tests
that should be run on all tests that are subclasses of ClassTestCase.

I really don't like the idea of grouping by inheritance... and having 
something named Abstract that you can run is strange, somehow.
