Reference to 'third' root suite option is missing; 'virtual suite' is made when RF is provided with multiple suite paths #69

Description

@GerwinLaagland

In the current 'Root Suite' specifications we do not have a reference in the RFCP syllabus about what Robot Framework does when multiple paths are provided as a suite.

Example
robot my_tests.robot your_tests.robot

Source
This functionality is covered here in the user guide:
https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#specifying-test-data-to-be-executed

Quote from the User Guide:

The name of the created test suite is got from child suite names by concatenating them together with an ampersand (&) and spaces.

Decision
After discussing this in the syllabus comittee it was concluded we should refer to this functionality in the RFCE syllabus. To ensure this is remembered a github issue about this topic is raised, and will be labeled as RFCE relevant.
