This gives me a little pain, since I always liked to organize my tests
OO-like, with classes etc; the docs call pytest fixtures: explicit,
modular, scalable; but for me "decorating classes and methods" is a tiny
bit of magic that forces me to leave the pure OO way and to think a
little more functional;
