I would like to specify a _test set_ as broken, just as I can specify a _test_ as broken with `@test_broken`.  
Is there a way to do that?

I don’t think such a thing is implemented at the moment. A `@broken` macro that can be used like

```nohighlight
@broken @test ...
@broken @test_throws ...
@broken @testset ... 
...

```

would be very convenient.
