+# iterable container (_ParameterizedTestIter) instead of a standard function object.
+# Problem: When pytest markers are applied above @parameterized in the decorator stack:
+#
+#   @pytest.mark.cpu_only
+#   @parameterized.named_parameters(...)
+#   def test_foo(self, ...):
+#
+# pytest attaches the marker attributes exclusively to the outer iterable container object.
+# During class initialization, the test metaclass unwraps the base function to generate
+# individual test methods, omitting the outer container entirely. Consequently, marker
+# attributes attached to the outer container are dropped and lost before pytest collection.
+# Solution: Intercept _ParameterizedTestIter.__iter__ to dynamically propagate any discovered
+# pytestmark attributes from the outer container object down to all generated test methods.
