Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Subclasses of ExplicitAttribute are ignored. Example:

public class NotYetImplementedAttribute : ExplicitAttribute { } 

[TestFixture, Explicit] public class Test1 { } 

Is ignored, where

[TestFixture, NotYetImplemented] public class Test1 { }

Is executed as if no Explicit attribute has been applied. 

While not a huge deal, having these attributes strongly typed does provide value when reading code and searching for instances of a given attribute. 

Thanks!
