Description
The assay class is used to track the results of running the test and demonstration functions. It is useful for verifying an installation. It can also assay any list of functions. The functions must not require arguments.

The functions to be tested should use the Glish fail mechanism for assay to be meaningful.

The standard tests and demonstrations are those that are expected to not fail in a working installation.
