cosmo notify test skipped

function varargout=cosmo_notify_test_skipped(reason)
% notify that a test in the test suite is skipped
%
% Usages:
%   - cosmo_notify_test_skipped(reason)
%
%       Input:
%           reason          string indicating why a test is skipped, and
%                           store reason internally in this function.
%
%   - skipped_tests=cosmo_notify_test_skipped()
%
%       Output:
%           skipped_tests   cell with strings containing the reason values
%                           stored internally
%
%   - cosmo_notify_test_skipped()
%
%       Side effect: this empties the internal list of skipped tests
%
% Notes:
%   - depending on the call stack, this function:
%       * when called through MOxUnit's moxunit_run_tests, it raises an
%         exception through  moxunit_throw_test_skipped_exception. When
%         moxunit_run_tests is finished testing, it can summarize which
%         tests were skipped.
%       * when called through cosmo_run_tests, no warning is shown and no
%         error is thrown. When cosmo_run_tests is finished testing, it can
%         summarize which tests were skipped.
%       * otherwise, a warning message is shown with the reason.
