/**
 * {@code @MethodSource} is an {@link ArgumentsSource} which provides access
 * to values returned from {@linkplain #value() factory methods} of the class in
 * which this annotation is declared or from static factory methods in external
 * classes referenced by fully qualified method name.
 *
 * 
Each factory method must generate a stream of arguments,
 * and each set of "arguments" within the "stream" will be provided as the physical
 * arguments for individual invocations of the annotated
 * {@link ParameterizedTest @ParameterizedTest} method. Generally speaking this
 * translates to a {@link java.util.stream.Stream Stream} of {@link Arguments}
 * (i.e., {@code Stream}); however, the actual concrete return type
 * can take on many forms. In this context, a "stream" is anything that JUnit
 * can reliably convert into a {@code Stream}, such as
 * {@link java.util.stream.Stream Stream},
 * {@link java.util.stream.DoubleStream DoubleStream},
 * {@link java.util.stream.LongStream LongStream},
 * {@link java.util.stream.IntStream IntStream},
 * {@link java.util.Collection Collection},
 * {@link java.util.Iterator Iterator},
 * {@link Iterable}, an array of objects, or an array of primitives. Each set of
 * "arguments" within the "stream" can be supplied as an instance of
 * {@link Arguments}, an array of objects (e.g., {@code Object[]},
 * {@code String[]}, etc.), or a single value if the parameterized test
 * method accepts a single argument.
 *
 * 
Please note that a one-dimensional array of objects supplied as a set of
 * "arguments" will be handled differently than other types of arguments.
 * Specifically, all of the elements of a one-dimensional array of objects will
 * be passed as individual physical arguments to the {@code @ParameterizedTest}
 * method. This behavior can be seen in the table below for the
 * {@code static Stream factory()} method: the {@code @ParameterizedTest}
 * method accepts individual {@code String} and {@code int} arguments rather than
 * a single {@code Object[]} array. In contrast, any multidimensional array
 * supplied as a set of "arguments" will be passed as a single physical argument
 * to the {@code @ParameterizedTest} method without modification. This behavior
 * can be seen in the table below for the {@code static Stream factory()}
 * and {@code static Stream factory()} methods: the
 * {@code @ParameterizedTest} methods for those factories accept individual
 * {@code int[][]} and {@code Object[][]} arguments, respectively.
 *
 *

The following table displays compatible method signatures for parameterized
 * test methods and their corresponding factory methods.
