// A simple test harness. To create new tests define functions starting with
// 'test_'. To run all tests so defined, run:
//   $ wart test
//
// So far it seems tasteful for layers to never ever reach back to modify
// previously-defined tests. Every test is a contract once written, and should
// pass as-is if it is included, regardless of how much later layers change
// the program. Avoid writing 'temporary' tests that only work with some
// subsets of the program.
