Actually, this does not require TAP protocol buy-in (although
it may be worthwhile to add it so that TAP can convey a more
complete picture). It could easily be implemented right now by
having the TAP emitter test whether a failed test failed in the
expected manner or not and either include or omit the TODO
directive based on that.
