`cl-macrolet' does it, thanks! I will also handle `should', `should-not'
and `should-error' this way.

Meanwhile I'm thinking, we should introduce `skip-unless' instead of
`skip-if'. This would allow to catch errors, like this:

  (skip-unless (ignore-errors (a-test-which-might-raise-a-signal)))

We could even move `ignore-errors' into `skip-unless'.

Opinions?
