   *
   * <p>A failing {@link TearDown} may or may not fail a tl4j test, depending on
   * the version of JUnit test case you are running under. To avoid failing in
   * the face of an exception regardless of JUnit version, implement a {@link
   * SloppyTearDown} instead.
   *
   * <p>tl4j details: For backwards compatibility, {@code
   * junit3.TearDownTestCase} currently does not fail a test when an exception
   * is thrown from one of its {@link TearDown} instances, but this is subject to
   * change. Also, {@code junit4.TearDownTestCase} will.
   *
   * @throws Exception for any reason. {@code TearDownTestCase} ensures that
   *     any exception thrown will not interfere with other TearDown
   *     operations.
