> Today, one cannot create a {{Pipeline}} without a runner, as the runner is wired in to do transform expansions. However, we want to remove the {{DirectPipelineRunner}} from the SDK, so a {{TestPipeline}} should default to a no-op runner that performs no expansion, but crashes upon {{run()}}, or some such, in order to execute tests that do not really require a runner.
> (As soon as possible, this expansion wiring will be removed, but if we keep the {{Pipeline.run()}} convenience method, we may still need some optional runner set up)
