* Test function names must begin with `test_` to mark them for execution.
* Normal functions can also be defined in test files, and should be called manually. Other
symbols can also be defined in test files e.g. types.
* There are 2 kinds of tests: external and internal.
* The internal tests, have to *declare* their module, just like all other .v
files from the same module. Internal tests can call even private functions in
the same module.
* The external tests, have to *import* the modules which they test. They do not
have access to the private functions/types of the modules. They can test only
the external/public API that a module provides.
In the example above, `test_hello` is an internal test, that can call
the private function `hello()` because `hello_test.v` has `module main`,
just like `hello.v`, i.e. both are part of the same module. Note also that
since `module main` is a regular module like the others, internal tests can
be used to test private functions in your main program .v files too.
You can also define special test functions in a test file:
* `testsuite_begin` which will be run *before* all other test functions.
