scalatest.FunSpec: ignore with xit

To ignore a spec for a few runs (normally only to refactor before I can actually implement the spec) Scalatest allows you to 'ignore' the test. Consider the following example spec.

class SomeSpec extends FunSpec {
  describe("Something") {
    it ("does something") { .. }
  }
}

To temporarily ignore the spec you can replace 'it' with 'ignore'

describe("Something") {
  ignore ("does something") { .. }
}

That's okay, but it gets a little annoying. Especially since it can also be done with a single key character (I'm not talking vim or emacs keystrokes here).

At least a number of other spec libraries allow you to ignore a spec by putting an 'x' in front of it, i.e. by using 'xit' instead of 'it'. You can do the same with Scalatest by delegating 'xit' to the standard ignore.
