Neat.  This could be used for later set-up tests, too, perhaps with a
long-term goal of making non set-up tests independent of each other
(reorderable and skippable).

Why wouldn't they act just like they do in test_expect_success blocks?

FWIW I find Junio's test_setup name more self-explanatory.  What
mnemonic should I be using to remember the _fixture name?
