    The idea of `TestToSpecTransformer` is to convert a plan to a 
pre-registered spec. It's not working on types but on plans. This means that 
it's able to convert a plan it understands (be it coming from a catalog item or 
used as an app plan) to a spec. The plan itself may be added as a catalog item, 
but it's a separate matter.
    
    A plan refers to a type, but is not itself a type, it's a composition of 
types. Calling `registerSpec` tells the transformer how to interpret the plan, 
not what the spec for a specific type is.
