Skipped tests can sometimes be turned on by the user. For example...
$ prove -l t/is_deeply_with_threads.t
t/is_deeply_with_threads....skipped: many perls have broken threads. Enable
with AUTHOR_TESTING.
this is exactly what i do in these skips, check for an envvar. now, the
user didn't actually see the skip message (because the skip wasn't
reported) but luckily he found it odd that i mentioned it in the readme
and yet the tests still reported ok despite him not having set said envvar.
cheers,
