PHPUnit Test Listeners are technically read-only (not enforced). We need another means of manipulating suite execution order and suite filtering.

It sounds like PHPUnit 7.0 will spell the end for the current approach...

See sebastianbergmann/phpunit#2477

Note: Current implementation is https://github.com/humbug/phpunit-extensions

Updated a bit to see how this actually develops. Presumably something will have to be added to allow test/suite level write access before cutting off the Listener API. There is a TestDecorator extension point documented, but I can't find any way of injecting that at present. We certainly can't ask users to add code somewhere (and how would we use if we did from outside the testing loop where we belong?).
