@Stepwise behavior inheritance to subclasses

Describe the enhancement you have in mind.
Make sure the @Stepwise behavior is also inherited by subclasses.

Which particular problem would this enhancement solve for you?
Below is an example scenario

1) read xml
2) validate xml. if xml is not valid then stop executing step 3 and 4
3) unmarshall xml to pojo
4) assert that data is properly copied over

I will have more than 100 feature tests with the same flow as above and I want 
all of them to not execute steps 3 and 4 if step is not satisfied. I defined 
steps 1 and 2 in base spec and marked it with @Stepwise. I then added a sub 
spec and defined steps 3 and 4. But steps 3 and 4 are still being executed 
eventhough step 2 from base class is failing.

Please provide any additional information below. You can also assign
labels.
