WHERE TO FIND HOOKS AND APIS
       global API
           Test2::API is the global API. This is primarily used by plugins
           that provide global behavior.

       In hubs
           Test2::Hub is the base class for all hubs. This is where hooks for
           manipulating events, or running things at the end of testing live.
