/**
 * Abstract class that supports test registration in FlatSpec
 * and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec.
 *
 * 
 * For example, this class enables syntax such as the following pending test registration
 * in FlatSpec and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec:
 * 
 *
 *  * "A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" is (pending)
 *                                          ^
 * 
 *
 *
 * 
 * For example, this class enables syntax such as the following tagged test registration
 * in FlatSpec and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec:
 * 
 *
 *  * "A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" taggedAs(SlowTet) in { ... }
 *                                          ^
 * 
 *
 * 
 * This class also indirectly enables syntax such as the following regular test registration
 * in FlatSpec and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec:
 * 
 *
 *  * "A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" in { ... }
 *                                          ^
 * 
 *
 * 
 * However, this class does not declare any methods named in, because the
 * type passed to in differs in a FlatSpec and a org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec.
 * A org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec needs two in methods, one that takes a no-arg
 * test function and another that takes a one-arg test function (a test that takes a
 * Fixture as its parameter). By constrast, a FlatSpec needs
 * only one in method that takes a by-name parameter. As a result,
 * FlatSpec and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec each provide an implicit conversion
 * from ResultOfStringPassedToVerb to a type that provides the appropriate
 * in methods.
