///             are terminated when the test is done (the threads are joined
///             then as well). While this fixture may be used on it's own, it is
///             often sub-classed by other fixtures whose functioning requires
///             threads to be created as necessary.

  /// @attention  Unlike all other threads and task runners, this task runner is
  ///             shared by all tests running in the process. Tests must ensure
  ///             that all tasks posted to this task runner are executed before
  ///             the test ends to prevent the task from one test being executed
  ///             while another test is running. When in doubt, just create a
  ///             bespoke thread and task running. These cannot be seen by other
  ///             tests in the process.
