I tested it with basic crashOnlyModificator and it works as intended - allows me to correctly skip and pass all the regular failures and only leaves me with crash tests as failures. Perfect for corner cases like JVM testing and such.

this method should be synchronized, or the `resultModifier` should be safely  instantiated singleton. I would prefer the second. It would be good to die in initial stage, not late in runtime
