+** Debugging tests
+
+Say you are working on a new test called 'your-test.scm', you can run
+it on its own using
+
+ obj $ make -C tests/openpgp check XTESTS=your-test.scm
+
+but something isn't working as expected. There are several little
+gadgets that might help. The first one is 'trace', a function that
+prints the value given to it and evaluates to it. E.g.
+
+ (trace (+ 2 3))
+
+prints '5' and evaluates to 5. Also, there is an 'assert' macro that
+aborts the execution if its argument does not evaluate to a trueish
+value. Feel free to express invariants with it.
+
+You can also get an interactive repl by dropping
+
+ (interactive-repl (current-environment))
+
+anywhere you like.
+
+** Interfacing with gpg
+
+defs.scm defines several convenience functions. Say you want to parse
+the colon output from gpg, there is gpg-with-colons that splits the
+result at newlines and colons, so you can use the result like this:
+
+ (define (fpr some-key)
+ (list-ref (assoc "fpr" (gpg-with-colons
+ `(--with-fingerprint
+ --list-secret-keys ,some-key)))
+ 9))
+
+Or if you want to count all non-revoked uids for a given key, do
+
+ (define (count-uids-of-secret-key some-key)
+ (length (filter (lambda (x) (and (string=? "uid" (car x))
+ (string=? "u" (cadr x))))
+ (gpg-with-colons
+ `(--with-fingerprint
+ --list-secret-keys ,some-key)))))
