I thought about it but rejected it because it is much easier to spot class
tokens if it comes immediately after test_expect_xyzzy.

I suspect that certain classes of tests that need to be skipped can be
autodetected inside test-lib.sh; it would be an independent topic to build
on top of this.  Your example of 64-bit may be one of them.
