Yeah, testies: a lightweight library of functions for quick, simple unit-testing.

Tries to honor the [Go language philosophy of testing](http://golang.org/doc/faq#How_do_I_write_a_unit_test) - paraphrasing:

> testing frameworks tend to develop into mini-languages of their own, with conditionals and controls and printing mechanisms, but PHP already has all those capabilities; why recreate them? We'd rather write tests in PHP; it's one fewer language to learn and the approach keeps the tests straightforward and easy to understand.

The primary test API is a set of functions in the `mindplay\testies` namespace.

Internally, the API is backed by a pair of simple "driver" and configuration classes - these are left as open as possible, and you should feel comfortable extending these and tailoring them specifically to suit the test-requirements for whatever you're testing.
