I like these ideas-- they seem like worthwhile additions. 

Let's see if I can get an example right.

This:

     use Test::More;
     if( $^O eq 'MacOS' ) {
         plan skip_all => 'Test irrelevant on MacOS';
     }
     else {
         plan tests => 42;
     }

would become something more like:

     use Test::More tests => 5, have 'LWP', { "not Win32" => sub { $^O eq 
'MSWin32'} };

(OK, so that example was highly adapted from the Apache::Test docs). 

It is shorter, but does mean a more functionality to understand for the 
programmer to use it.
