///
/// A minimal plugin must define [loadChannel], which connects to a client in
/// which the tests are defined. This is enough to support most of the test
/// runner's functionality.
///
/// In order to support interactive debugging, a plugin must override [load] as
/// well, which returns a [RunnerSuite] that can contain a custom [Environment]
/// and control debugging metadata such as [RunnerSuite.isDebugging] and
/// [RunnerSuite.onDebugging]. The plugin must create this suite by calling the
/// [deserializeSuite] helper function.
///
/// A platform plugin can be registered by passing it to [new Loader]'s
/// `plugins` parameter.

  /// implementation of [load] will take care of wrapping it up in a
  /// [RunnerSuite] and running the tests when necessary.
  ///
  /// The returned channel may emit exceptions, indicating that the suite failed
  /// to load or crashed later on. If the channel is closed by the caller, that
  /// indicates that the suite is no longer needed and its resources may be
