Cool test helpers that also help ensure accessibility! I’d love to see this become a common pattern. 🚨🐐🚨🐐🚨🐐🚨🐐I just pushed a significant update to react-testing-library.

@ryanflorence Going forward, modifying the prototype of builtins pre-standardization should be understood as a risk by developers and shouldn’t hold up standardization. However, I can’t imagine past tools could be reasonably held to this expectation.
