That's not quite what I mean. There are situations, with the current
code, that it gets the answer wrong (i.e., claims arrays may share
memory when they don't). I know, and it's okay, and if it doesn't
there's a bug, but in view of possible future enhancements, I don't
want to signal an actual failure if it starts working. I do want to
test it though, so I was hoping there was a way to express "I expect
this test to fail, notify me if it doesn't, but don't call it a
failure if it starts working".
