Test::Group allows for grouping together related tests in a standard
Test::More-style script. It provides a bunch of maintainability and
scalability advantages to large test suites:
* related tests can be grouped and given a name. The intent of the
test author is therefore made explicit with much less effort than
would be needed to name all the individual tests;
* the test output is much shorter and more readable: only failed
subtests show a diagnostic, while test groups with no problems inside
produce a single friendly ok line;
* no more tedious test counting: running an arbitrarily large or
variable number of tests (e.g. in loops) is now hassle-free and
doesn't clutter the test output.
