Since we'll be writing more and more of PlatformScript in
PlatformScript, we need a way to test PlatformScript in
PlatformScript.
This adds a `pls test` command that will find all files ending in the
`.test.yaml` extension in the `test` directory, and runs them as
PlatformScript tests.
Added to stdlib is the "testing.yaml" module where you can find a test
constructor, as well as matchers. The structure of a test is really,
really simple for now. It is just a list of expectations:
```yaml
$test:
- expect:
- subject
- matcher
- matcher
- matcher
- expect:
- subject
- matcher
- matcher
```
Matchers are just functions that run on the subject and return a
result for it. The following functions are shipped initially to create
matchers:
- `toEqual: expected`: takes an expected value and returns a matcher
that passes when the subject is equal to the expected.
- `not: matcher`: takes another matcher and passes only if that
matcher fails.
This is not the end all be all of testing frameworks, but what it
_is_, is something that we can use to write tests for our
PlatformScript as we begin to use it.
