1401 :: unittest in Standard Library Documentation

  Would it be possible to update the Nim Standard Library page to include the unittest package?

  I'm new to the language and had to dig around for a few minutes before I remembered the article where I originally saw it.

  I think @Araq hated unittest at some point for some reason; not sure if it's still the same.

  The reason it's not included is because it still does not have any documentation!

  It's also still buggy and I don't want to maintain it. For unit testing I don't want triply nested template voodoo just so that I can write "suite foo" instead of nothing or a comment. But meh, it's a lost fight, unittest is too popular. -.-

  I've just finished a little module with a testing macro that might be useful for you, @JohnS. It's called einheit and it tries to be more friendly and I've included a few examples in the test.nim file.

  @jyapayne Thanks for the bump! I'll take a look tonight, seems like what I was looking for.
