Comment 19 for bug 1057981

Sounds good! One thing we need is a test assembly built in VS2012,
which contains all sorts of combinations of test features, for example,
test cases that use an async method, methods with timeout plus async,
methods using testcasesource, etc. The existing NUnit tests have lots
of examples but of course none of them can use async.

This is actually something that would help us implement async tests
in all three projects... NUnit V2, NUnit 3.0 and NUnitLite
