The motivation for using idiomatic style and standard library for tests is that it's more universal, and more familiar to a larger set of people. It makes it easier to read, modify tests for experienced Go programmers. It does not require thorough knowledge and familiarity with custom APIs.

Resolves #41.

This commit is largely based on previous work by @uovobw in sourcegraph#3, modified by me to improve error messages, style, and address preliminary review comments.

@gregjones I believe this should be good to merge. Have you had a chance to review it, and are there any review comments I should address?

Hi, it looks good, thanka for aortibg it. but I still only have mobile internet, so might be a while before I can do anything with it... If anyone else is paying attention and wants to comment then I might be happier pressing buttons without being able to verify things myself :/

I am still away from home. Sorry :/
Once I am back I will sort out this, and figure out what to do to make things more reliable in future.
