Subject: [ruby-talk:27603] Lapidary's return value

Newsgroupies (including, of course, Nathan!):

Ogle this snip of RubyUnit-based code:

 def main

   got = RUNIT::CUI::TestRunner.run(SubstanceAbuse_.suite)

   if got.error_size == 0 and got.failure_size == 0 then
      puts "All tests passed!"
   else
      exit 1
   end

 end

Call me old-fashioned. I want to return a success or failure flag to
the environment if my test fails.

This would let me batch a bunch of tests - including Lapidary tests,
and "acceptance" tests - together, and get instant death after a clear
error message if any of them failed.

The above does not work in Lapidary because TestRunner.run returns
stack trash, not a clear useful object to evaluate.

How do I beat this info out of Lapidary?
