* What is the rationale for choosing a random `pairOf(instanceMutator, 
classMutator)`?
* Does "instance mutator gets followed by a class mutator" have any particular 
importance for the tests they are used?

I was looking at this argument supplier and thinking of `Collections.shuffle()` 
over a list containing all method names, preferably, multiple times.

`javaLibraryPath` is only used here. You can consider inlining 
`System::getProperty` here and saving yourself from lines 51..56.
