# skip — Marks a test case as skipped with a reason.

#
# What this teaches:
#   • Test skipping — `skip` marks a test case to be skipped, with a required reason string.
#   • Test modifiers — Tests can be modified with `skip` to temporarily disable them.
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Confusing skip (test skip) with pass (no-op) — skip marks a test as skipped, pass is an empty statement.
