/**
 * A Suite class that takes zero to many Suites in its constructor,
 *  which will be returned from its nestedSuites method.
 *
 * 
 * For example, you can define a suite that always executes a list of
 * nested suites like this:
 * 
 *
 *  * class StepsSuite extends Suites(
 *   new Step1Suite,
 *   new Step2Suite,
 *   new Step3Suite,
 *   new Step4Suite,
 *   new Step5Suite
 * )
 * 
 *
 * 
 * If StepsSuite is executed sequentially, it will execute its
 * nested suites in the passed order: Step1Suite, Step2Suite,
 * Step3Suite, Step4Suite, and Step5Suite.
 * If StepsSuite is executed in parallel, the nested suites will
 * be executed concurrently.
 * 
 *
 * @param suitesToNest a sequence of Suites to nest.
 *
 * @throws NullPointerException if suitesToNest, or any suite
 * it contains, is null.
 *
