And now I am visiting bf4b7219 ("test-lib.sh: Add check for invalid
use of 'skip_all' facility", 2012-09-01), which is yours ;-)

I am wondering what the fallouts would be if we did the following to
test-lib.  We used to say "1..0 # SKIP <why>" when we skip
everything, which is still kept, so that prove can notice why things
are skipped.

When we abort early but after executing any test, we used to error
out, but instead we pretend that the test finished right there, as
it seems that we are not allowed to say "1..4 # SKIP <why>" after
running 4 tests.
