that's very nice idea, actually!
but with this approach we kinda eliminate the beauty of the dependency
injection
also imagine: we have 5 application fixtures, which are heavy to start
then we have distributed test run, where are groups of the tests using
mostly one application fixture per group
for certain test slave it will have no sense to set up all the application
fixtures, if this slave works on a set of tests including only one-two test
groups
