Description
Sometimes you need to test things BEFORE loading the necessary functions. This module lets you do that.
You can write tests, and then have them run later, after "Test2" is loaded. You tell it what test
function to run, and what arguments to give it. The function name and arguments will be stored to be
executed later. When ready, run do_def() to kick them off once the functions are defined.
Exports
def function => @args;
This will store the function name, and the arguments to be run later. Note that each package has a
separate store of tests to run.
do_def()
This will run all the stored tests. It will also reset the list to be empty so you can add more tests
to run even later.
