Me too :)

Maybe test/unit could recognise xtest methods and say

  124 tests, 300 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 15 disabled tests

to help us when we forget a test has been x'ed.

(I would have said this proposed behaviour is "non-obvious, and people
wouldn't know to use 'x' unless they'd read the documentation", but given
the number of people who use 'x' anyway, they might just stumble across it.)
