testing? Testing things with a range of possibilities instead of 
fixed. Each time the test is ran a different version is executed. 
This provides more coverage.

How does one create a random number at compile time? Is this the 
only way:

 Values() annotation on a unittest takes a range. Base that on a range 
that yields random values and Bob's your uncle.

That range may need to be a compile-time constant. If so, it will be a 
little awkward to create, and you can ping Atila about possibly creating 
a  ValuesFrom annotation that will take a method or lambda that yields a 
range of values.

Thanks, looks nice, a bit confusing but seems pretty useful.

But why is Bob my uncle? ;)
