So we started with these four names:

TestCase( object, object, ... )
TestCases( string )
Values( object, object, ... )
DataSource( string )

.. and now we are here:

TestCase
TestCases
Values
ParameterSource

I liked ValueSource( string ) better than ParameterSource since it
clings better to Values, so it is more analogous to the TestCase,
TestCases pair.

But then again the only thing differentiating TestCase and TestCases
is singular/plural form.

I guess the hurdle is that the concept of a "named source" is used in
both pairs, but the name "Source" only in one. It is a bit
inconsequent. Either both should use Source, or none of them:

1.
TestCase
TestCaseSource
Values
ValuesSource

2.
TestCase
TestCases
Values
ValuesLookup (or something ..)
