[racket] Overeasy (Was: eli-tester (was "Using Racket to solve Professor Layton puzzles"))
I've released Overeasy, which, antisocially, is YET ANOTHER TEST ENGINE
FOR RACKET.
Documentation at: http://www.neilvandyke.org/overeasy/
Overeasy is pretty much everything I currently want from a Racket test
engine.
Overeasy is intended as both a useful tool and a position paper. If a
different Racket standard infrastructure for tests emerges, I can try to
make Overeasy use that.
Overeasy obsoletes my Testeez package.
