+exposes a simple TESTABLE module type, a check function to assert test
+predicates and a run function to perform a list of unit -> unit test callbacks.
+Alcotest provides a quiet and colorful output where only faulty runs are fully
+displayed at the end of the run (with the full logs ready to inspect), with a
+simple (yet expressive) query language to select the tests to run.")
