+#
+# GoogleTest is a C++ test framework, thus, it does not describe/articulate how
+# to write tests in other languages, e.g., C or shell, unlike the ATF, plain,
+# and TAP raw test interfaces.
+#
+# For now this is a thin wrapper around the `plain` test interface, but in the
+# future this will rely on a newer version of kyua which will integrate in
+# GoogleTest support.
