Add id and fullDescription keys to tests

[Julian]

An immutable (never changing) ID field might be useful for test suite users.

A fullDescription would be useful possibly for elaborating on a test since we restrict description to less than 60 chars so that it can be used to name test methods.

On the other hand, the tests are nice and simple right now:)

It does seem like we're not particularly hampered by not having a fullDescription at least. That hasn't come up.

Not having immutable IDs though I know has hurt me personally as an implementer.

I'm all for it then.

What's the use case for this? I don't see why a line number or serial number wouldn't work.

Basically if you're an implementer, and you need to skip a particular test
in the suite for whatever reason, there isn't currently a guaranteed way to
refer to a particular test case.
