Also, just a suggestion: how about a way to
bootstrap tests. I haven't really seen that on
theGH link shared above.

Thanks!

From my understanding of what the project does(I
haven't really had a deep dive in it- I've merely
skimmed it), it does a lot of bootstrapping for
you. It would be nice to have unittests(defaulting
to python's unittests would be great). And a way
of running said tests.

This sounds like manual testing(?). I've grown to
being keen on testing(though I try not to be a
zealot about it). You'd be surprised(IMO) at how
many people don't know how to write tests, usually
not because they don't want to; but because they
don't know /how to/.

That being said, it would be nice to see your
project have that-- doing bootstrapping for tests
for you; and having somewhere that mentions how to
run them. I'll try to have a look at it over the
weekend? That's seems like something I'd use-
though it'd have to be more generic.
