    Legend: "Y" means supported, "N" means not supported. "?" means not tested.

    If you would like to implement support for
    a given provider with an "N" or a "?" (or create tests for it), you should create a patch and mark the issue as an
    improvement. If there is something wrong with an implementation marked with "Y" that is considered a bug.

   (*1) The JUnit 5 Platform supports running multiple individual test methods in a single class, but there are some
   corner cases that are not supported, yet: {{{https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/issues/1343}junit-team/junit5#1343}}
   and {{{https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/issues/1406}junit-team/junit5#1406)}}.

   (*2) 3 extensions related to JUnit5 annotation <<<DisplayName>>>.

   (*3) Since 3.0.0-M4
