Another idea is to change the implementation of `not_in` to do the same thing 
that `check_list_or_lambda` does.  i.e. Return a lambda that iterates each item 
of the argument and uses substring match instead of exact match.  This way 
`@skipIf(archs=not_in('mips'))` would actually work.

Any of these 3 options sounds fine though.
