    """Perform TestCase-specific configuration on a function before testing.
    By default, this does nothing. Example usage: spinning a function so
    that a JIT will optimize it. Subclasses should override this as needed.
    Args:
        func: function to configure.
        *args: any arguments that should be passed to func, if calling it.
    Returns:
        Nothing. Work will be performed on func in-place.
