Suggestion: make it into a quine.

Rust can test examples in markdown files by the way, though it’s deactivated as a standard behavior. (At least, in cargo)

For running tests manually, use:

$ rustdoc --test README.md

It uses the same machinery as the docstring tests. (which are activated by default)

Alternatively use https://github.com/brson/rust-skeptic

Also, how is this “crazy”? It’s perfectly well-aligned with the idea of tested documentation.

The first commit roughly sums up my opinions on this:

first pass at this insanity
