The implementation is vastly different, but semantically, they just
provide context around a set of tests.
Though it does make me wonder how/whether subtests can be marked TODO.
(Whereas SKIP can be done through skip_all with plan). Does plan()
need a "todo/todo_all" option? Or would it be just nesting a TODO
block in the subtest?

I don't really have a problem with it, either, other than golf score.
Though I'd still possibly prefer something like this:
subtest "Sanity check" => sub {
plan 3; # or subplan()
pass for 1..3;
}
