Why is t/TEST anything more than a thin wrapper around Test::Harness?
It contains a partial reimplementation, but is missing some very
useful features, such as skip and todo tests.  I particularly miss
todo tests.  There's alot of little bugs which people mention and then
are forgotten, I'd like to be able to encode them into the tests.
That way, we can have an automated reminder of what's todo.

I presume that part of the reason is that should Test::Harness fail,
we won't be able to run the test suite.  And being a production
module, Test::Harness would be more prone to change and thus breakage.

I'm torn between simply hacking todo and skip into TEST, using
Test::Harness or modularizing TEST into Test::Harness::Basic
(Test::Harness::Reins?) or something.
