Please try to avoid expected failures if possible. If you must have them,
move them into a test file of their own. Consider the possibility of using
alternative .out files.

This doesn't matter to Buildfarm quite so much for contrib as it does for
main or PL regression sets, as contrib is the last thing checked, so a
failure there doesn't block any other steps in the checking process. Still,
a contrib failure will show up as yellow rather than green.

Buildfarm does not currently have a way of knowing what failure is expected
and what is not - it currently treats any regression failure as unexpected.
Changing that is on my TODO list, but it's not going to happen any time soon.
