The Description should contain only those things about a test that are
available before the test is run. I think we're closing in on a
request that additional information discovered during the test run can
be reported through the listener--this is already possible for failed
tests; it looks like we need ignore reasons for ignored tests, and
possibly parameters for parameterized tests.
