Description
It might make life easier for package authors if we added a function TestPackage. This would run packages tests in the same way our regression testing does.
This has several advantages:
- Package authors can have confidence we are running tests how they like.
- Package users have an easy way of checking packages they have installed work correctly.
It is unfortunately hard for me to imagine (i should maybe imagine better) how we can tell if the tests would pass or fail easily (seeing as we do this check based on reading the output for a particular string), but it would be a useful step forwards.
This was inspired by a message by @Stefan-Kohl on #630.
