[TIP] Meta-test methods...

That was the "after" example, how we -might- use a meta-method.

The "before" example is, what we do now and need to fix:
def test_reset_and_voltage_interactions(self):
    for reset_action in self.reset_actions():
        for voltage_level in self.voltage_levels():
            self.reset_and_voltage_test(reset_action, voltage_level)

# and yes, in the current/"before" code, the worker function does the work, in the potential/"after" code, the worker function returns a function that does the work. :)
