Actually, just having the expected number is not very accurate... what if
by some freak accident an expected failure turns into a success while at
the same time a usually successful test starts to fail. The number of
failures will stay the same, telling us nothing about the problems that
are occuring. It would be much better to have a specific list of the tests
that are expected to fail.
