/**
 * Trait that can pass a new Conductor fixture into tests.
 *
 * 
 * Here's an example of the use of this trait to test the ArrayBlockingQueue
 * class from java.util.concurrent:
 * 
 *
 *  * import org.scalatest.fixture
 * import org.scalatest.concurrent.ConductorFixture
 * import org.scalatest.matchers.ShouldMatchers
 * import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue
 *
 * class ArrayBlockingQueueSuite extends fixture.FunSuite with ConductorFixture with ShouldMatchers {
 * 
 *   test("calling put on a full queue blocks the producer thread") { conductor => import conductor._
 *
 *     val buf = new ArrayBlockingQueue[Int](1)
 * 
 *     thread("producer") {
 *       buf put 42
 *       buf put 17
 *       beat should be (1)
 *     }
 * 
 *     thread("consumer") {
 *       waitForBeat(1)
 *       buf.take should be (42)
 *       buf.take should be (17)
 *     }
 * 
 *     whenFinished {
 *       buf should be ('empty)
 *     }
 *   }
 *
 *   test("calling take on an empty queue blocks the consumer thread") { conductor => import conductor._
 *
 *     val buf = new ArrayBlockingQueue[Int](1)
 *
 *     thread("producer") {
 *       waitForBeat(1)
 *       buf put 42
 *       buf put 17
 *     }
 *
 *     thread("consumer") {
 *       buf.take should be (42)
 *       buf.take should be (17)
 *       beat should be (1)
 *     }
 *
 *     whenFinished {
 *       buf should be ('empty)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * For an explanation of how these tests work, see the documentation for Conductor.
