SKIP_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
-----------------------
If the output matches this regular expression the test will be marked as skipped.
If set, if the output matches one of specified regular expressions,
the test will be marked as skipped. Example:
.. code-block:: cmake
set_property(TEST mytest PROPERTY
SKIP_REGULAR_EXPRESSION "[^a-z]Skip" "SKIP" "Skipped"
)
``SKIP_REGULAR_EXPRESSION`` expects a list of regular expressions.

-----------------------------------------
* A new test property, :prop_test:`SKIP_REGULAR_EXPRESSION`, has been added.
This property is similar to :prop_test:`FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION` and
:prop_test:`PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION`, but with the same meaning as
:prop_test:`SKIP_RETURN_CODE`. This is useful, for example, in cases where
the user has no control over the return code of the test. For example, in
Catch2, the return value is the number of assertion failed, therefore it is
impossible to use it for :prop_test:`SKIP_RETURN_CODE`.
