Hmm, the pros and cons between allowing test_might_fail on normal commands

Okay, makes sense.  I would be happier if exit statuses 129 and 129-256
were disallowed by test_must_fail, too, but that does not make it any
less useful for cases like "test_might_fail grep needle haystack >result".
And it is better to avoid introducing yet another command to learn.
