The test driver makes use of 'eval'-style scripting, which none of the
existing Haskell systems has.
Template Haskell does provide a kind of 'eval', but it is compile-time
rather than run-time. That's interesting though: I hadn't thought about
it, but it might be possible to implement the test framework as a
Haskell library which uses Template Haskell.
Cheers,
