Test::More does not have a sane facility to declare a "block" as TODO.
What you are seeing are series of tests, if at least one of them fails
the whole TODO makes no sense, even if parts of it pass. I find that
declaring individual TODO blocks within this main block is too much
hassle, and rather error prone for the little benefit it offers.

If you have a better idea how to deal with this - please do share.
