This can be easily used for crashtesting (filtering out only tests with jvm crashes).

Okay, so the main idea would be to integrate a mechanism similar to JUNIT's  TestRule.. Do you have any suggestions of where you would see such a feature? I already proposed a way to integrate something similar into the RegressionScript code and further propagate it into the underlying JTHarness.. I am afraid that we can't really avoid propagation into jtharness to get that local non-distant approach.
