For each `SECTION` the `TEST_CASE` is **executed from the start**. This means
that each section is entered with a freshly constructed vector `v`, that
we know has size 5 and capacity at least 5, because the two assertions
are also checked before the section is entered. Each run through a test

Section can also be nested, in which case the parent section can be
entered multiple times, once for each leaf section. Nested sections are
