Right now there is no way to recognize really passed and skipped test in jtharness (and jtreg).

It is very common situation when test should be executed or achieve some conditions to provide useful testing. If test not able to achieve these conditions it just silently pass. We want to have a way to point that test not pass but was skipped.

Once jtharness could provide such capability then we could reuse it in jtreg to distinguish pass and skipped tests.

It is needed to provide more precise information about execution coverage.
