/**
 * A <code>Request</code> is an abstract description of tests to be run. Older versions of 
 * JUnit did not need such a concept--tests to be run were described either by classes containing
 * tests or a tree of <code>Tests</code>. However, we want to support filtering and sorting,
 * so we need a more abstract specification than the tests themselves and a richer
 * specification than just the classes.
 * <p>
 * The flow when JUnit runs tests is that a <code>Request</code> specifies some tests to be run ->
 * a <code>Runner</code> is created for each class implied by the <code>Request</code> -> the <code>Runner</code>
 * returns a detailed <code>Description</code> which is a tree structure of the tests to be run.
