Trait that contains the note method, which can be used to send a status notification to the reporter.
The difference between note and the info method of Informer is that
info messages provided during a test are recorded and sent as part of test completion event, whereas
note messages are sent right away as NoteProvided messages. For long-running tests,
note allows you to send "status notifications" to the reporter right away, so users can track the
progress of the long-running tests. By contrast, info messages will only be seen by the user after the
test has completed, and are more geared towards specification (such as Given/When/Then messages) than notification.
The difference between note and the alert method of Alerting is
that alert is intended to be used
for warnings or notifications of potential problems, whereas note is just for status notifications.
In string reporters for which ANSI color is enabled, note notifications are shown in green and alert notifications
in yellow.
