Transfer to Fortran-lang organization?

[awvwgk]

This project was originally developed as light-weight testing framework for TOML Fortran and the Fortran package manager, where it has been redistributed within the testsuite. There are now a couple of redistributed variants around, mostly MIT or Apache-2.0 licensed:

• https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm/blob/master/test/fpm_test/testsuite.f90
• https://github.com/toml-f/toml-f/blob/main/test/tftest/testsuite.f90
• https://github.com/LKedward/fhash/blob/master/test/TestLite.f90
• https://github.com/grimme-lab/mctc-lib/blob/main/src/mctc/env/testing.f90

We discussed about this and other testing frameworks at @fortran-lang in several issues and I offered to transfer it to @fortran-lang:

• Unit testing framework fpm#176
• Proposal to use Testing Framework stdlib#162
• [idea] Introduce stdlib-fpm (forlab) as dev-dependencies in fftpack fftpack#12
• Add testing module to allow better structuring of test suites stdlib#494

I hope that fortran-lang can maintain a testing-framework, and it will go further with the help of fortran-lang organization. It will be standardized, accepted and improved by the community, which is a very far-reaching good thing!
Thank you @awvwgk for your generous donation (test-drive) to fortran-lang!🎉

I am 150% in favor of fortran-lang/test-drive. It's relatively small and simple, and has the coolest sounding name I've heard of a Fortran project in a long time.

That sounds like a great idea to me, especially if it is used by fpm and stdlib. Thank you @awvwgk

I think this looks good as a testing framework. Why not simplify:

            call check(error, all(input == expected))
            if (allocated(error)) return

to:

            if (check(error, all(input == expected))) return

Beyond that, the only other way to simplify is using macros, but I like that this is very usable without macros.

It seems the test-drive's internal code is relatively straightforward and I think we should be able to maintain this as a community.

So +1 to move under fortran-lang.

Alright, I'll went ahead and transferred the repository to @fortran-lang.

@certik Let's continue this discussion in a separate issue.
