+#
+# Note: foo_test.isolate is included and a source file. It is an inherent
+# property of the .isolate format. This permits to define GYP variables but is
+# a stricter format than GYP so isolate.py can read it.
+#
+# The generated .isolated file will be:
+#   <(PRODUCT_DIR)/foo_test.isolated
+#
+# See http://dev.chromium.org/developers/testing/isolated-testing/for-swes
