Description
Fixtures are already a bit of an obscure concept for people new to Pytest. And as in the good old saying goes... "readability counts".
(suggesting to keep rf, no need for a hamster wheel update of a bunch of test cases, that will just make a lot of people feel miserable)
By the way, thanks for a great project 💟
