I understand that it is likely to happen we don't receive any
comments, but in such cases the way to go is not to urge people
but to wait more :-)

Yeah, that's what I had in mind you might created, by writing
kind of code generator. It's not that difficult, like iterate
test master file, call Console.WriteLine ("[Test]public void
TestBlah(){..."); and so on, and I know you are (at least
sometimes) kind of magician ;-)

I was afraid of such thing above because it could be messy even
though it might be useful for reporting one error for one test.

In the existing standalone testing, it says like "remove fixed
tests from KnownFailures". What I am afraid is that it might report
the message kinda above as a test failure. Now that it turned out
that it is not integrated to the existing NUnit tests, we don't
have to worry about such things could be reported as a build/test
breakage, but it was what I have worried about.

So, now that it will not (or does not always) affect on the
build process, I think there is nothing to stop you ;-)
