+        Resource cleanup processes the stack of cleanups produced by
+        `addClassResourceCleanup` and then cleans up validation resources
+        if any were provisioned.
+
+        All cleanups are processed whatever the outcome. Exceptions are
+        accumulated and re-raised as a `MultipleExceptions` at the end.
+
+        In most cases test cases won't need to override `resource_cleanup`,
+        but if they do they must invoke `resource_cleanup` on super.
+
+        Example::
+
+            class TestWithReallyComplexCleanup(test.BaseTestCase):
+
+                @classmethod
+                def resource_setup(cls):

+                    cls.addClassResourceCleanup(delete_resource, A)
+                    # provision resource B
+                    cls.addClassResourceCleanup(delete_resource, B)
+

+                    # It's possible to override resource_cleanup but in most
+                    # cases it shouldn't be required. Nothing that may fail
+                    # should be executed before the call to super since it
+                    # might cause resource leak in case of error.

+                    # At this point test credentials are still available but
