public enum Lifespan
extends java.lang.Enum<Lifespan>
```
Define how long a resource, e.g. the value in a Store with the same identifier, will live:
- For the whole test run
- For the currently running property
- For the currently running try
Any hook or collection of hooks can use this enum to allow the specification of the lifespan of resources from which it is abstracting.
