Description: # Astro-test
        Capture functions arguments and results and create a unit test file for that combination to assist refactoring.
        
        Why?
        Imagine you have to refactor a large, undocumented (untested!) python code base.
        You'd probably identify the most important, slowest, or most error-prone 
        One strategy is to write tests for the more significant functions and work from there.
         
        This proof-of-concept utility captures this initial functionality by generating test cases during test executions of the code.
        
        Why 'Astrotest'?
        ===
        
        'Astroturfing' is a term meaning to create inauthentic comments or discussion to influence or overwhelm 
        natural organic debate. Hence 'Astro-testing': it's not authentically TDD; it can create a large number of tests.
        
        Example
        ===
        
        If the following function has the test_logging decorator:
        
            @astro_test
            def simplefn(a,b):
                return a+b
            
        and is called with:
        
            simplefn(a=1,b=2)
        
        it'll create a unit test: 
           
        
            # testcase:{'args': (), 'result': 3, 'fn': 'simplefn', 'kwargs': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}}
                def test_simplefn_1c419a(self):
                    self.assertEqual(simplefn(*(), **{'a': 1, 'b': 2}), 3)
