Summary: @WriteThis annotation

Initial Comment:
Right now tests fall into the following categories: Passed, Failed, Error and Ignored. There is still one more category that would be useful to have: "Tests to be Written". These are tests that have been identified but have not been written, for some purposes they should be counted as failed, but we also like to count them separately.

Tools that generate test skeletons could annotate them with @WriteThis instead of what some of them currently do (fail("Write This")).

Right now I'm using the @Ignore annotation in this capacity. But I would
like to have the flexibility to use @Ignore to ignore temporarily tests
that I know may fail instead of using it to mark tests that are not
written. 
Can an annotation extend another? If so, maybe it would be as simple as
having @WriteThis extend @Ignore, tools that care could glean th e fact
that the test is not written, other tools would simply ignore the test.

Roberto,

How do you currently work around this problem?  Do you manually inspect
the results and mentally filter out the tests yet to be written from those
indicating regressions?
