I'm not 100% how this "paramater values" version of test cases work.

I understand TestCase and TestCases (even though TestCases is a bit
ambious to me since it actually specifies a named source of
TestCase-tuples, but it's so readable anyway)

Could you give an example of the Values, DataSource including a
[Test]-method (or TestCase method if that is the way to use them..)?
