Is there a way to run a Busted test suite in parallel?
The test suite for my Lua project is split up into multiple files inside the spec/ directory.
Is there a way to ask busted to run those tests in parallel? If I call busted without any arguments it runs all the tests sequentially.

Is there any way I can get a full stack trace…

Do the assertions in the luassert library have a `level` parameter similar to the builtin `error` function?
I am currently writing a test suite using busted/luassert and since I have put some assertions in a separate function I am getting inaccurate stack traces. For example, consider the following test suite (a_spec.lua):
