That's an uncool pattern. I know the tests use it everywhere but you
shouldn't use it. It's better to implement #selectorsToInclude in
MyFileLibrary and answer #(styleCss). The best way is probably to use
#resourceUrl: 'css/style.css'

There are multiple ways you can go. If you use Comanche I'd use
#resourceUrl: and a Comanche config to serve the files from disk.
