How is "extra credit" *ever* any sort of failure?
It does mean "the tests need to be adjusted", and maybe "the report
should contain more info than just a boolean 'true'."
But it should definitely not even be an option to report it as a
failure.
In an automated publishing tool, I would treat it as non-shippable by
default but have an option to ship it anyway. For instance: a tricky
cross-platform bug might fail on machines that the author doesn't have.
In nightly smoke reports, you might have the "everything's ok" set to
silent, but would want to send mail when TODO()s pass.
Perhaps that means prove's return code is non-zero, or that the $answer
ne "Result: PASS\n", but only if those are treated as "not failure".
YAML?
