-- Declare a new test suite.

-- @param suiteName
--    A unique name for the suite. This name will be displayed as part of
--    test failure messages, and also to select the suite when using the
--    `--test-only` command line parameter. Best to avoid spaces and special
--    characters which might not be command line friendly. An error will be
--    raised if the name is not unique.
-- @return
--    The new test suite object.

-- @param identifier
--    An optional test or suite identifier, indicating which tests should be
