Can we test an object that needs initialization and teardown?

Putting teardown into finally block in @Arbiter is probably okay.

But the "nuts" part is assuming it is sensible to have very heavy-weight @State. The harness is able
to capture concurrency bugs by executing lot of tests, and spending the significant time at
setup/teardown works against that. In other words, @State-s are created by millions per test
(because @Actor-s are basically one-shot per @State), instantiating and shutting down the database
every time does not look very sane.
