### Tests
You're encoraged to claim ownership of your test code. If you add a new
file under the `test/` directory, then you should put your name in the

an existing unit test file, then you're encouraged to append a line with
your name to the existing copyright header of that file.

the top with the ISC license, and then add a `__notice()` directive so
that your name will be embedded inside every executable that links the
