32  * Marker interface for a data element that can be included in an iteration's
33  * fixture definition through application-supplied instructions like a build or
34  * test script.
35  * <p/>
36  * Fixture components are fundamentally different from {@linkplain FixtureCore} elements
37  * because they are created in response to an application request only; if the application
38  * doesn't want them, they are not included in the iteration's fixture. FixtureCore items
39  * are not data elements usually and exist as long as the iteration lives.
40  * <p/>
41  * The term fixture component can include anything from data objects to task instances
42  * to fixture administrators. When included, fixture components and their particular
43  * states help make one particular iteration unique from another.
