[ANN] ggspec v1.0 released - a unit testing framework

[Yawar Amin]

Hi folks,

I've just polished up and released ggspec v1.0.[1] Ggspec is a unit testing 
framework targeting Guile 1.8.8, with Guile 2 support in the planning stage. 
Excerpt from the release notes:

  - The `ggspec` script is a test runner that will find and run all tests in 
your project's `spec` subdirectory (recursively).

  - Test results (pass or fail) and details (if fail) are output _as soon as 
they are known._ This means before the next test is run. So you get immediate 
feedback.

  - All setups (i.e. definitions) are re-run before _every_ test, and so are 
all teardowns. This means that all setup values used in tests are completely 
isolated from each other and every test runs in a clean environment. Modulo, of 
course, you or some implicitly-run Scheme procedure changing global or 
thread-local state.

  - **Warning** that the `test` macro API will change slightly, soon. You 
should be future-proof if you restrict the test body to a single expression. 
Use `begin` if you need to. E.g., use:

...
(test "Description"
  e
  (begin expr1 expr2 exp3 ...))
...

... instead of:

...
(test "Description"
  e
  expr1 expr2 exp3 ...)
...

Tutorial is on the repo home page.[2] I'd welcome feedback.

Regards,

Yawar
