# Run a nix testsuite.
#
# The tests are simple assertions on the nix level,
# and can use derivation outputs if IfD is enabled.
#
# You build a testsuite by bundling assertions into
# “it”s and then bundling the “it”s into a testsuite.
#
# Running the testsuite will abort evaluation if
# any assertion fails.
#
# Example:
#
#   runTestsuite "myFancyTestsuite" [
#     (it "does an assertion" [
#       (assertEq "42 is equal to 42" "42" "42")
#       (assertEq "also 23" 23 23)
#     ])
#     (it "frmbls the brlbr" [
#       (assertEq true false)
#     ])
#   ]
#
# will fail the second it group because true is not false.
