Re: [nunitv3] Re: Another Question of Naming

Hi Olof,

I'll wait a bit to see if any other ideas pop up, but
it makes sense.

BTW, internally I use "source" to mean something that
gives us data - either test cases or individual args.

I've settled on "provider" as the next level of 
indirection: a provider -> source -> data.

So "source" is a good word here.
