SUnit extensions and example patterns. See the test resource subclass comments for detailed descriptions.

- CompetingResource: when two or more resources cannot both be available at the same time and you wish to add tests using each to an overall suite.

- InvariantResource: when you want a run to leave the resource active if was active before the run started.

- SkipResource: when a SkipResource is unavailable, it raises a TestSkip before raising a failure; only if the test nevertheless proceeds (i.e. the skip is unhandled) does it then fail the test.

The protocol #assert:orSkip:, #deny:orSkip: can also be used directly in tests to replace code of the form:

self isOnMac ifFalse: [^self]. "test only makes sense on Mac OS"

with

self assert: self isOnMac orSkip: 'test only makes sense on Mac OS'.

Calling #addSkip: on a TestResult transforms it into a ClassifiedResult, to which further skips or other specialised results may be added.
