Stanislaw and I  have had a long discussion on IRC today. We have agreed on a new interface to the test (a. k. a. check) object to be a bunch of properties and a single run() method. Compared to today, it means that the is_applicable() function is no more part of the interface. Instead, run() returns 'not_applicable'  as needed.

Unfortunately, we have designed two ways to implement this in the python context: one based on inheritance, and one based on decorators. Noone of us sees it as a major problem to select any solution, but we must decide. And needs some input.
