NAME
       Test2::Tools::Defer - Write tests that get executed at a later time

DESCRIPTION
       Sometimes you need to test things BEFORE loading the necessary functions. This module lets
       you do that. You can write tests, and then have them run later, after "Test2" is loaded.
       You tell it what test function to run, and what arguments to give it.  The function name
       and arguments will be stored to be executed later. When ready, run "do_def()" to kick them
       off once the functions are defined.

SYNOPSIS
           use strict;
           use warnings;

           use Test2::Tools::Defer;

           BEGIN {
               def ok => (1, 'pass');
               def is => ('foo', 'foo', 'runs is');
               ...
           }

           use Test2::Tools::Basic;

           do_def(); # Run the tests

           # Declare some more tests to run later:
           def ok => (1, "another pass");
           ...

           do_def(); # run the new tests

           done_testing;

EXPORTS
       def function => @args;
           This will store the function name, and the arguments to be run later. Note that each
           package has a separate store of tests to run.

       do_def()
           This will run all the stored tests. It will also reset the list to be empty so you can
           add more tests to run even later.
