Start with the one you use and accept failing tests for others. Seriously - don't overthink the problem. Get the minimum you need up and release it, documenting what you DIDN'T do. This is for two reasons: 1) If no-one wants the feature you didn't put in, then there's no reason to put it in. 2) The moment someone does want it, they'll tell you how they want to use it. I guarantee you that it's not the way you thought they would. Basically, I'm calling "YAGNI" on the idea. There's a really good reason for this - if you're not using the feature, you WILL implement it wrong until you have a failing test that demonstrates how the feature will be used.
