 For async tests, import the `recorded_by_proxy_async` decorator from `devtools_testutils.aio` and use it in the same
 way as `recorded_by_proxy`.
 
+Because test proxy tests use pure `pytest`, any positional parameter in a test method is assumed to be a reference to
+a fixture (see `pytest`'s [How to use fixtures][pytest_using_fixtures] documentation). So, arguments that are passed
+to a test by a preparer -- for example, `example_variable` in `test_example_with_preparer` above -- should be
+accepted via `**kwargs` and popped off at the start of a test.
