I think that is a fair point, what we will ultimately need is a way to filter 
TCs that touch experimental from the Unit Test framework. 

That doesn't exist for v19.11, nor can we respectively invent it.
We should look at that for v20.11 to avoid supporting all "experimental symbols". 

As a better useful solution.
That said - I think having an alias-to-experimental tool in our box, 
stands on its own merit.
