Hi Factor List,

A while ago Nat Pryce built a system in python called 'protest' that 
allowed you to document things with named unittests. I wrote about it here:

http://www.phildawes.net/blog/2006/03/17/protest-rocks-generate-documentation-from-tests/

When I started using scheme I found that it was easy to write a DSL 
which wrapped the documentation with the unittests for extraction

http://www.phildawes.net/blog/2007/05/23/a-simple-scheme-unittest-dsl/

This had a nice reinforcement loop in that documenting the api 
encouraged you to test it and vice versa. The tests then show up in the 
documentation to illustrate how the api works.

Is there a good reason the same approach wouldn't work well in factor?

Cheers,

Phil
