!ignore this, because skipUnless means I have an acceptable conditional flag
@unittest.skipUnless(do_test, do_test_msg)

!catch these 2, lazy test-passing
@unittest.skip("fb212.test_urls_security_usergroup Test_Detail.test_related fails with 302")
@unittest.expectedFailure

!bonus points... ignore things that are commented out
   # @unittest.expectedFailure
