Re: How to reliable identify Failure caused by @BeforeClass?

So another possibility might be this: there's a top-level Description
passed to testRunStarted; you could see if the Failure's description is in
that tree, or not.  Again, that only tells you whether the failure is tied
to a particular test method, and doesn't disambiguate between BeforeClass
vs AfterClass.
