TestDecorators are there in JUnit ... so explianing that would be
duplicated effort and time I dont have ... however in a separate
thread I'll try to explain the use cases I have found for
TestDecorators  ... while testing things in the project I was talking
about ... ;)

there is even a test decorator in dutest itself ... PackageTestLoader ... ;)
