Utility function to handle building diagnostic nodes

this builds a simpler diagnostic message

This builds an extended diagnostic message, showing the values gotten and the values that were expected.

This builds a simple tests case.

This initalizes the test plan.

Occassionally it is useful to print out random diagnostic messages within your test suite, either for debugging or some other purpose.

After constructing a document, you must initialize it to assure that it has all the correct footers.

This is similar to the ok test except that it takes two values and performs it's own comparison on them using =.

On occasion you do not know the number of tests in advance, in such cases it is possible to not specify a plan.

This replaces TestSimple.no_plan but returns a string rather then printing to stdout

An ok tests is the most basic test, it is similar to assert in that it expects a boolean value, or an expression which reduces to a boolean, as it's basic test.

Simply pass plan the number of tests you plan to run, like so:

        plan 10;; 
    

This replaces TestSimple.plan but returns a string rather then printing to stdout
