Comment (by renficiaud):

 I do not get it: you are writing a fixture for being able to test
 protected members of `TestMeParent`, and you do not want to specify the
 constructions of `TestMeParent` inside your fixture.

 OTOH, having an additional parameter passed to the
 `BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE` will not help you very far here: you will still
 need to initialize `TestMeParent` in some way, and you will still need to
 forward whatever has been passed to the ctor of `TestMe` to
 `TestMeParent`.

 It is a bit confusing, I am flagging this as not doing.
