I guess it is not surprising because I suggested it, but I find the new
setup/teardown logic easier to follow than the old toggle. The weird
placement did throw me for a minute while reading the patch. I wonder if
it is worth pulling the increment out of test_skip, to have something
like this in test_expect_*:

  test_start ;# increment number, run setup hooks
  if ! test_skip
  then
    ...
  fi
  test_finish ;# teardown hooks

Then it is a bit easier to see that each start has a finish (whereas in
the current version, the setups in test_skip are matched by individual
teardowns in each caller). I did not look too hard at it, though, so I
wouldn't be surprised if there is some other hidden order dependency
that makes that not work. :)

So these do your verbose setup/teardown. Makes sense.

But then what is this hunk doing:

At first I thought these should go into your setup/teardown hooks, but I
don't think so. They are made redundant by patch 1/6, which wraps all of
test_eval with malloc setup/teardown, aren't they? Should this hunk be
in patch 1?
