Quick followup note. I just wanted to exclaim that TestItemRunner.jl is an _ **AMAZING** _ package. I literally haven’t seen test speeds this fast in any other language/framework/anything:

^ This is a 90 ms turnaround to run my entire test suite in a new package (much smaller one, but still great – would normally be an entire 3 seconds), without even needing to open up the REPL.

And I love that you can put `@testitem` directly underneath a function definition. Really, really nice dev workflow.

Thanks for the recommendation @mkitti, and thanks for making it @davidanthoff et al!!

(brb, rewriting all of my test suites…)
