This needs to be:

		if (WIFEXITED(status)) \
			_exit(WEXITSTATUS(status)); \

otherwise existing tests that communicate FAIL/SKIP via exit() continue to yield
exit(0) and thus false passes.

If that conflicts with tests that want to communicate via _metadata->exit_code,
then maybe this?

		if (WIFEXITED(status)) \
			_exit(WEXITSTATUS(status) ?: _metadata->exit_code); \

Or I suppose _metadata->exit_code could have priority, but that seems weird to
me, e.g. if a test sets exit_code and then explodes, it seems like the explosion
should be reported.
