Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 382
I have a suite of Geb tests that consists of read-only and read-write tests, and I need
to be able to specify whether to run mutating tests. I can use @Requires for this,
but I have to repeat my condition for each class or method. I would like to be able
to use @Requires/@IgnoreIf as a meta-annotation to define my own annotation, which
has the condition baked in.

Research direction
Start by locating how @Requires and @IgnoreIf are processed, then trace the extension and annotation handling for meta-annotations. Add coverage for a user-defined annotation that carries the condition, including class- and method-level use, and verify that mutating tests can be selected or skipped as described.
