similar to @pytest.mark.parameterize but it will mix in the big/little with testing a range of values.

hypothesiswould be good at.hypothesisis a property-based testing library. It does semi-automatic property-based testing to find edge cases easier than manual test cases. I think this would be especially useful for testing encoding/decoding or various message roundtrips.
