I did review the series, I must say I'm not too familiar with the
'unit-tests' framework, so most of this code was new for me.
Tangential to this GSoC project, I was hoping for some documentation
regarding writing/running 'unit-tests', something similar to how we have
't/README'. This would help formalize expected styling and tips around
writing tests, and also how to run individual tests. I was mostly able
to figure it out from the makefiles, but it would be easier if there was
documentation too. (We did discuss this internally, but I think it's
worthwhile stating on the list).
