I know that glib trunk contains provisions for unit testing, but they
are not yet included in a stable release. This means that the Vala
bindings are unlikely to sport them as we speak, but they could make
an excellent addition to Vala when the next glib release hits the
block.

Unfortunately (by my limited understanding) the GLib devs decided to
go with a pretty odd syntax for their assertions, which might make it
hard to bind. Fx:

  g_assert_cmpstr ("foo", <, "fzz");
  g_assert_cmpstr ("fzz", >, "faa");
  g_assert_cmpstr ("fzz", ==, "fzz");

Will this (insanity) be possible to map to Vala?
