defmodule Multiverses do
  @moduledoc """
  Elixir introduces into the world of CS, the "multiverse testing" pattern.
  This is a pattern where tests are run concurrently and each test sees a
  shard of global state.

  ## Examples:

  - `Mox`: each tests has access to the global module mock, sharded by the
    pid of the running test.
  - `Ecto`: each test has access to a "database sandbox", which is a
    checked out transaction on the global database that acts as its own
    database shard.
  - `Hound`,`Wallaby`: each test generates an ID that is passed outside of
    the BEAM that is reintercepted on ingress to the BEAM; this ID is
    then used to reconnect to the parent test pid.

  This library implements Multiverses-aware versions of several constructs
  in the Elixir Standard Library which aren't natively Multiversable.
  Additional plugins will be provided for other systems, such as Phoenix.PubSub
