Add message element to @Test?

Would it make sense to enhance the @Test annotation with a new optional message element? Currently all of the Assert methods have overloaded forms including a message parameter in order to report what went wrong in human readable terms. However when you use the @Test annotation with an expected element to check that a particular exception was thrown there's no way to report a custom message back to the user.

Alternatively, could we add a method to the ExpectedException rule to set a custom failure message?
