//! Tagging functionality for tests, allowing for convenient grouping and later
//! execution of certain groups.
//!
//! For example, a test can be associated with the tag `miri`, to
//! indicate that it is suitable for being run under
//! [Miri](https://github.com/rust-lang/miri):
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use test_tag::tag;
//!
//! #[tag(miri)]
//! #[test]
//! fn test1() {
//!   assert_eq!(2 + 2, 4);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Subsequently, it is possible to run only those tests under Miri:
//! ```sh
//! $ cargo miri test -- :miri:
//! ```
//!
//! Please note that the usage of Miri is just an example (if the
//! majority of tests is Miri-compatible you can use `#[cfg_attr(miri,
//! ignore)]` instead and may not require a custom attribute). However,
//! tagging can be useful for other properties, such as certain tests
//! requiring alleviated rights (need to be run with administrator
//! privileges).
//!
//! This crate provides the #[test_tag::[macro@tag]] attribute that allows for
//! such tagging to happen.
