If some of your tests are reliant on one reactor, and some of them on
another, then you can't run them both in the same process even now. You will
have to specify the reactor globally, just as always.


Oh, now I think I know what you mean: "Is the Trial reactor only compatible
with the select reactor?"? As I understand it, the idea is to make it a
wrapper around whatever other reactor you globally choose.
